Half of Americans work during vacationJuly 1, 2013
Whether aboard a cruise ship in the Caribbean or a Jeep in the Sahara, more than half of American employees regularly check in on work while vacationing, according to a new study conducted by Pertino, a cloud networking software company.
Technology advances have enabled employees to go far beyond texting and e-mailing their colleagues on the go and actually work on documents. The catch: It is becoming harder for people to drop their work in their downtime.
"The Information Age has enabled unprecedented levels of employee productivity from the corner office to the factory floor, but it has also created a dependency on the applications, files, and data that employees depend on every day to get their job done. This can actually lead to anxiety when an employee is disconnected for a protracted period of time," says Todd Krautkremer, vice president of marketing at Pertino, based in Los Gatos, Calif.
Some 64 percent of men say they work on vacation; 57 percent of women say the same, according to the Pertino study.
