Digital Desk: A workation is exactly what it sounds like—working while on vacation. The concept of the workation has grown in response to the new liberties that many of us have been bestowed at work. We have proved to our proprietors that we do not need to be constantly surveyed and scrutinized and that we can work independently. In fact, many employers now encourage remote working in an attempt to reduce expenditures.

Having the flexibility to choose when to work, knowing when to work is the most productive and efficient key to performing.

For the roles in which being in an office isn't essential to get the job done, there are plenty of productivity and collaboration tools out there to support remote work.

It is also an important factor in reducing supportive expenses like - shuttle costs or travel allowance, unnecessary big expenditures on corporate offsites, etc. It will help to reduce employee desire for vacation time while also having an indirect benefit on your team's overall health. Commutation is no longer an issue to contemplate. periods in crowded trains or being stuck in traffic without moving at all.

Working remotely, or even taking a workation, can provide that required modification to one's atmosphere that may be just what you need to come up with the next great idea, or overcome a long-standing mental block. So we can conclude that the concept of workation is here to stay even as the pandemic passes by.
