One of Josh Vignona’s strategies for building high-performance teams and achieving optimal productivity is integrating business leisure as an operational option.
The new acceptance of hybrid working systems in many organizations, which peaked during the COVID pandemic, brought a surge in business leisure, commonly referred to as the bizleisure trend. Bizleisure entails business-trips-similar concepts and maximizing the work from anywhere idea to travel to new destinations.
Firstly, the employees benefit as they can opt to work from any destination of their choice, as long as they get the work done while enjoying the tourist-esque aspect. It breaks the monotony of the office, and the change can boost mental health and increase morale and productivity.
Secondly, bizleisure opens up unexplored and unexpected destinations for work and travel. Suppose the employee can make a feasible case on why they chose a particular option, such as fewer distractions, with access to less crowded amenities. In that case, smaller destinations offer broader options for affordability and more attractions. Lastly, business travel helps boost a company’s brand, especially for the destinations mentioned above.
