Working wherever you want\u2014who wouldn\u2019t want that? A workation is simply working from a different location, often abroad, while continuing to do your regular job. So it\u2019s not a vacation, but it does offer a little more sun, space, or freedom to choose your own workspace. But what workation arrangements should employers and employees agree on? <\/span><\/p>\n

Workations are no longer just for freelancers; more and more salaried employees are feeling the need to go on a workation, and plenty of employers are recognizing the benefits of remote work. <\/span>It\u2019s not possible for every job to be done from abroad, and by no means will every employer agree to this. But there are plenty of companies that highly value freedom and trust, giving employees the flexibility to work from wherever they choose\u2014provided, of course, that you meet certain requirements, such as having a reliable internet connection, a suitable workspace, being reachable, and doing your job well. But all of that is perfectly achievable. <\/span><\/p>\n

How do you bring up the topic of a workation with your employer?<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a bit of a fine line\u2014being too demanding can come across the wrong way and immediately shut the door on you. This also applies to job applications, by the way. If you see a really great job but the posting doesn\u2019t mention anything about remote or hybrid work, be sure to ask about it carefully. If you\u2019re applying solely because you want to work remotely, you\u2019ll likely miss the mark in most cases. Make sure you\u2019re well-prepared for the interview and know which aspects of remote work are important, so that they take you seriously. <\/span><\/p>\n
