## Description

"If we can work wherever we want, why don't we do it where our hearts are?" 
 
More and more people have learned to appreciate the new freedom of working: first home office, then flexible working models and now workation. Stefan Dietz shows what's possible: workation on the beach, in a camper van or in the mountains? One week or three months? Workation as a trip around the world - with a full salary? A multi-local life commuting between home base in Berlin and a surf spot in the Algarve? Or work from the Thai sun for a year? Anything is possible. New lifestyles are emerging - and new demands on employers.
 
"Back-to-office" is not a solution. If you want to be successful as an employer in the future, you have to develop your work and management culture in such a way that it doesn't matter where and when people work from - and yet connection and team spirit grow. This benefits both people and companies. Stefan Dietz provides plenty of examples and strategies on how workation can succeed and how companies can introduce it correctly. 
 
Workation lures you into the future of work with sun, beach and cocktails. 
Come and join us!
