Contrary to conventional belief, some vacation time just might be beneficial to our career<\/a>. However, most employers are far from keen to approve paid time off. Not because they don\u2019t see the benefit of it, but because they are worried that vacationers will have majorly fallen behind once they clock back in. With Netpresenter\u2019s employee app<\/a> you make sure your staff stays up-to-date about what\u2019s going on at work – even when they are on vacation. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A yearly vacation renews the perspective, creativity and clarity of thought that gets buried by the fast pace of everyday life. But not everybody takes time off. A 2014 Glassdoor report<\/a> states that 61 percent of employees still works while on vacation. More so, 40 percent of them even does this voluntarily, because they are afraid of the mountain of work they\u2019ll face when they return to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No E-mail<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

So, how do you give yourself and your workers some peace of mind? Definitely not by bombarding them with good ol\u2019 e-mails, according to the Harvard Business Review<\/a>. “By e-mailing an employee who\u2019s on vacation, you\u2019re communicating an expectation that she should work during her time off \u2014 even if you believe she \u201cshould know\u201d that you don\u2019t expect a reply until she\u2019s back in the office”, writes author of Personal Productivity Secrets<\/em> and HBR contributor Maura Thomas. So in order for companies to reap the benefits of their investment in vacation time for their employees, the solution has to be more comprehensive than just hitting them with a continuous stream of e-mails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is exactly where Netpresenter’s employee app comes into play. It keeps staff connected anywhere and everywhere, without bothering them or ‘unconsciously’ demanding a reply. The app automatically extracts content from internal and external sources, so staff members can stay informed about company news through their mobile devices whenever they do have a second to spare. On top of that, military-strength encryption makes sure your data stays secure, even if a mobile device has been lost at poolside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
