“I’m really good at my work when I’m travelling somewhere around the world and only have a certain time slot per day to ‘work through’.”
Flexible working models such as “workation” and “bleisure travel” can be a competitive advantage for employers in the “war for talent”. But many employers are unsure whether and how they can embed modern working models. A holistic approach is often lacking — in addition to examining legal, tax and social security factors, the “soft facts” must also be taken into account. On the one hand, soft facts include the effects on an individual and interpersonal level and the actual attitudes and expectations of employees. However, these topics also include duty of care in the context of working and travelling and the seamless communication of all measures to employees.
At the Work Culture Festival, Corinna Döpkens called for new mobility concepts. She spoke about “hidden factors” and gave valuable tips for the perfect combination of work and travel.
