This research was conducted by Jack and Ferdi to measure the impact of Bleisure Travel on Employees’ Happiness, Performance and Absenteeism.
Purpose
This survey aims at evaluating the impact of employees’ engagement in bleisure activities while on a business trip on the account of their employers. Specifically, we are measuring whether dedicating time for strictly personal activities on a business trip resulted in:
- a better work-life balance during the trip
- an increased wellbeing upon the return of a business trip,
- a perceived increased work performance 2 weeks after the return and
- lower absenteeism.
