Finding time to weasel a holiday into your work year can be challenging, making it even more difficult for full-time employees to establish a satisfying work-life balance.
An innovative solution to this dilemma is becoming more popular, as people begin to blur the lines between business and leisure. ‘Bleisure’ is the word used to describe the combination of work and leisure activities on business trips, and the idea is taking off around the world!
By adding a tour, a night on the town or recreational activity to any of your business trips, travelling stops being a pipe dream and instead becomes your reality. A work-life balance doesn’t have to be a war between the two, and when you allow yourself to enjoy both; life is just so much sweeter. We even have the stats to back it up: According to data from the State of Business Travel Survey, people engaging in a bit of Bleisure are 87 percent more likely to be satisfied with their work-life, and 93 percent of people said they were most satisfied with their overall quality of life. That’s one impressive statistic!
Bleisure can be as simple as site seeing on your way back from a trip, or enjoying an exotic meal during your time away. Others choose to embrace the opportunity even further, tacking a mini holiday onto the end of a business trip to save on vacation costs and annual leave, which is a pretty smart move.
However you choose to do it, it seems the Bleisure is one of the best ways to incorporate travel into your life, without breaking the bank.
