Are you wondering why you should let an employee take a Workation?

Maybe you don't see the benefits of it and fear that not enough work will be done — but you can put those fears to rest.

In fact, a Workation is an ideal way to invest in the well-being of your staff.

With a Workation, you give your employees the opportunity to break from their daily routine, recharge, and gain inspiration in a refreshing environment.

This pays off in performance and, therefore, also pays off for your company. Satisfied and revitalised employees are more productive, sick less often, and more involved in your organisation.

How do you tell your boss that you want to plan a Workation?

Have you ever dreamed of working from a sun-drenched beach or a charming mountain village?

A Workation can make this a reality! But how can you convince your boss that this is not only good for you — but also good for the company?

Here are some tips to get you started:

Preparation is key

Imagine going to your boss with a well-thought-out plan. Tell him or her about the benefits of a Workation: more productivity, fresh ideas, and a better work-life balance. Show that you’re serious and have a concrete plan ready.

Make it personal and professional

Start the conversation by discussing how a change of scenery will help you perform better. Specify projects you want to tackle and how the new environment will help with them. Be clear about your working hours and accessibility; show that you have everything under control.

Build trust with results

Prove that you take responsibility and achieve results. This will create trust and demonstrate that Workation is not just a holiday but a smart way of working.

How to arrange a successful Workation for your employees

Are you considering organising a Workation for your employees? This is how to do it.

1. Determine the goal and duration

   What do you want to achieve with the working holiday? Is it about team building, or do you mainly want to inspire your employees? And how long should it take?
   
   

2. Make clear agreements

   Tell your employees about the Workation and what your expectations are. 

   It’s important to keep the Workation voluntary instead of making it an obligation. Remember that there could be colleagues with young children who no longer want or cannot be away from home. 

   Clear agreements are also important during the Workation, for example about availability. How many hours will be worked and when?
   
   

3. Create a balance between work and relaxation

   Encourage employees to also enjoy the environment and take time off.
