Before 2020, workation was a dream for many!
The concept of workation was not as well known before as it is now. But with remote work taking over the world and every team meeting being virtual, workation started gaining more popularity.
There had to be some way to connect with your colleagues, right? After all, we only spend 8 hours together daily!
We at PriceLabs have always loved workations!
So much so that before the effect of the previous workation fun still wears off, we get knee-deep into planning for the next one.
If we are going to promote work from anywhere, we might as well work from anywhere!
Permanent remote work can be isolating and lead to burnout among employees (We are not saying this; researchers are!).
Meeting every once in a while helps you put a face and a tone to each conversation.
Imagine having a discussion with your manager and not being able to assess their tone because you do not know them as a person (and you think they are mad at you just because they did not use an emoji 😅)
Also, workations, where you spend a week together, lead to so many spontaneous conversations and ideas that would not be possible on a Slack thread.
Moreover, spending time in a setting that is not all work allows everyone to connect on a more personal level and see how we are all working towards a common goal and success, ensuring that everyone is on the same page regarding the company’s mission and objectives.
But it takes a village to make it happen!
When you have people from all over the world, from different time zones and weather conditions, all arriving in a new country, there’s so much that can go wrong (let’s not even get started on that yet).
But after pulling off Workation successfully 3 times in a row, you can trust us with this!
There are so many facets to planning a workation. In the upcoming part of this blog, we will see how you can get into the spirit of workation and build up the hype for your team!
