Three-quarters of American workers will be taking a "workation" this year.
According to workplace solutions provder Regus, the majority of Americans expect to stay connected to their office during their summer vacation, whether it's checking or responding to emails, taking work with them, or attending meetings.
Regus polled more than 5,000 U.S.-based professionals and found:
|- 50 percent of Americans admit they will work during their vacation this summer;
- 75 percent of Americans plan to stay connected to the office in some way while on vacation;
- 66 percent will be checking and responding to email during their time off; and;
- 29 percent expect they may have to attend meetings virtually while on vacation.
Daily work-life balance seems to be eroding, as well, the survey found. Nearly six out of ten respondents (58 percent) say they take work home more than three times a week.
