A survey in Finland revealed that 52 percent of respondents worked remotely while on vacation, with only 15 percent able to disconnect entirely. Regular checking of work emails has become common, with nearly half of respondents checking emails at least once a week. Smartphones and email accessibility make it difficult to truly disconnect from work, impacting employee wellbeing. The survey included about 1,000 residents ages 18 to 75, showing a significant trend toward work-related activities during annual time off.
"More than half of survey respondents in Finland said they work while on vacation. The survey found 52 percent of respondents saying they regularly carry out all kinds of work remotely while on holidays."
"Only about 15 percent of respondents said they were able to completely disconnect from work while on vacation, as checking work-related emails during holidays has become the new normal."
"The combination of smartphones and email has made it nearly impossible to disconnect from work. Checking work emails once or twice a week may seem moderate, but in practice this means that there is actually no day on vacation when work is not on your mind in one way or another."
