While this man is taking working while traveling nearly to an extreme, other set-ups can work well when you bring your job on your vacation. COVID-19 changed our lives and gave us a new normal on many things including the way that we work and where we work from. An increasing number of employees are embracing the concept of “hush trips” — a secret vacation away from the office that combines remote work with an enjoyable getaway.
Renewed focus — A change of scenery and routine can reinvigorate employees’ motivation, mental sharpness, and creativity. New sights and experiences recharge their focus. Relationship strengthening — Bringing a partner or family along can maximize quality time together in a new, exciting setting. The rise of remote work has made hush trips a viable option for many professionals looking to mix business with leisure while they are traveling. With just a laptop and WiFi, employees can embrace the digital nomad lifestyle for days or weeks at a time at accommodations and destinations that are responding to the increased demand of remote workers for bleisure travel. An increasing number of hotels are rolling out specialized packages catering to those seeking a workcation experience.
