工作旅行

Before you decide that taking a workation would be the equivalent of committing job suicide, consider these facts:
在你懷疑工作旅行會(huì)不會(huì)毀了你的職業(yè)生涯時(shí)，你可以看看以下一些研究結(jié)果：

Research has found that multi-cultural experiences and exotic surroundings generate more inspired and creative work.
研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，擁有多種不同文化經(jīng)驗(yàn)外國(guó)背景的員工在創(chuàng)造性工作上更勝一籌。

Workations decrease stress, which increases productivity and leads to fewer sick days.
工作旅行可以緩解壓力，提高效率，減少請(qǐng)病假的天數(shù)。

As long as you do it right, a workation could very well improve your performance. Here are six of my personal tips to help get you on the road to work-travel bliss.
只要你做得好，工作旅行還能提高你的工作表現(xiàn)。以下就是我個(gè)人的六點(diǎn)心得，可以幫助你好好地踏上工作旅行的道路。

工作特點(diǎn)

1. Take Stock of Your Job
1.評(píng)估下你的工作特點(diǎn)

If you do have a job that can be done mostly by computer or phone, you should try to fit workations -- even just one every year or two -- into your life. As for work tasks that need to be done in person, most can be accomplished virtually on a temporary basis, such as face-to-face meetings via Skype or conference calls conducted using speakerphone.
如果你的工作有大量的時(shí)間需要和電腦和電話打交道，那么你很有希望可以實(shí)現(xiàn)工作旅行，哪怕只是一兩年一次也行。如果你需要面對(duì)面的時(shí)間比較多，使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)就可以解決大多數(shù)問(wèn)題。比如說(shuō)，通過(guò)Skype就可以進(jìn)行視頻會(huì)議，或者打開免提來(lái)參加會(huì)議討論。

好好準(zhǔn)備

2. Prepare Before Talking to Your Boss
2. 和老板攤牌前好好準(zhǔn)備

First, try to schedule a workation for times that work best with your office schedule, such as a slow month. Or look at tacking a workation onto a work conference or some other event that requires travel, so you can spend a few extra days workationing before or after the work trip.
首先，你要選對(duì)時(shí)間，最好在工作的淡季，大家都不是很忙碌的時(shí)候，或者你本身就需要去某些地方出差的時(shí)候，那么稍微多呆幾天，賞賞風(fēng)景就變得比較自然。

Once you pinpoint a good time, draft a plan to make your workation go as smoothly as possible. It should account for any necessary meetings, time zone differences and your ability to stay in touch. If needed, plan to also work during the hours that you normally spend commuting. And try to propose the idea of a workation to your manager right after you've delivered on an important goal -- no boss will grant a workation to an employee who isn't performing well.
當(dāng)你選好了時(shí)間，就需要準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)盡可能完善的工作旅行計(jì)劃，要把會(huì)議、時(shí)差和能否及時(shí)取得聯(lián)系等都考慮進(jìn)去。如果需要，你可以提出在路上稍微做點(diǎn)工作，最好是在你完成了一個(gè)重大的工作目標(biāo)后再提出想要去工作旅行的計(jì)劃。畢竟沒有一個(gè)老板會(huì)愿意讓一個(gè)工作表現(xiàn)不佳的員工去旅行。

選目的地

3. Choose a Vacation-Worthy Destination
3. 選對(duì)目的地

Now for the fun part. If you aren't tied to a specific location due to a work event, then pick a destination that excites you.
現(xiàn)在就是最有趣的部分了。如果你不是因?yàn)楣ぷ髟蛞ヒ粋€(gè)指定的地方的話，那你一定要選一個(gè)自己感興趣的目的地。

Our general schedule is to spend four to six weeks at home, regrouping and conducting in-person work, and then head on a two- to four-week workation. This allows us to conduct necessary face-to-face business, and get out of town.
我們一般的計(jì)劃是在所居住的城市花4-6周，再花2-4周去工作旅行。這樣我們就可以完成必要的工作見面，也能出去玩了。

通訊暢通

4. Organize Communication Methods
4. 確保通訊暢通

Technology is essential for seamless workations, so make sure that your destination has speedy Internet access. And coordinate with your office on which technologies you will need to use to keep in touch, like attending meetings via video and conducting conference calls on Skype.
必要的科技工具可以確保你的工作旅行順暢無(wú)虞。所以，要保證你的旅行目的地可以高速聯(lián)網(wǎng)。你還要和公司協(xié)商好需要攜帶哪些設(shè)備以確保可以隨時(shí)取得聯(lián)系，比如通過(guò)視頻或Skype來(lái)參加會(huì)議。

旅行預(yù)算

5. Travel Affordably
5. 旅行預(yù)算

Workations don't need to break the bank. Consider swapping your apartment with a fellow traveler to save on hotel costs.You can also rent out your own home to cover housing costs and earn extra travel money.
工作旅行比不意味著會(huì)導(dǎo)致你銀行賬戶破產(chǎn)。你可以考慮和其他的旅客交換住房來(lái)節(jié)省住店費(fèi)用。你也可以出租你的房子，獲得的房租可以來(lái)付旅行的房費(fèi)和其他旅行費(fèi)用。

工作生活兩不誤

6. Balance Work With Vacation
6. 工作旅行兩不誤

Be sure to spend evenings and time on the weekends away from the computer, so you actually get refreshed by your new surroundings.
在晚上和雙休日，就遠(yuǎn)離電腦吧。這樣你才能從新的環(huán)境中恢復(fù)過(guò)來(lái)。?

Although workations can help you feel rejuvenated, it's also important to take full work-free vacations, which are essential for our minds and bodies to rest.
盡管工作旅行可以幫助你重獲新生，真正的假期也是很重要的。只有在休假期間，你的身心才都能得到放松。
