Workation: this German employer offers the most days

Pieter Manden is simply too old for a workation, as he says himself. With two small children, working from home abroad is not that easy. And yet the Dutchman is certain: “There is now considerable pressure in business to offer workations, when even the country’s largest companies are doing so.” Manden has to say that, in a way. The entrepreneur founded WorkFlex and helps companies to arrange workations in a legally compliant manner. (...)

Particularly popular with people in their early 30s

The WorkFlex survey also made clear that most requests for workations submitted through the software come from employees born in 1993. They are digitally adept and demand flexibility. “It is young people in particular, the followers of Generation Z, as the saying goes, who are looking for self-determination and flexibility,” says Continental manager Reinhart.

“But people over 40 and 50 express this wish as well. During the pandemic they experienced how well mobile working functions.” A workation arranged through WorkFlex currently lasts 8.5 days on average, and 58 per cent go to other EU countries.
