In looking at the reasons why people “workation” (work while on vacation), manager behaviour comes out on top, particularly those who continue to email while away.
That’s according to a recent survey which identified three clear categories of vacationers: planned vacationers (29%) who intentionally plan to do at least some work while on vacation, bringing their devices and keeping notifications on; unplanned vacationers (43%) who head off on holiday with the full intention of disconnecting but end up being pulled in anyway; and true vacationers (28%) who succeed in disconnecting fully and are likely to be older employees or those without direct management responsibilities.
The Perceptyx survey involved 3,000 U.S.-based workers.
