As an employer, how do you feel when you hear the term “workation”? We suspect that some will feel a bit of resistance or a degree of uncertainty. But don’t rush to judgment. We’ve got a few points here that will make you look at the topic from a different perspective.
This new kind of working can also mean lots of advantages for your company and open up new opportunities:
1. Winning over young talent
