Afraid to take time off to travel? Maybe you should know these things

Editor/Lin Yichen

It is not difficult to hear many people sighing that it is really difficult to go abroad after leaving society! Going abroad means taking more leave from work, which means we will be away from the company for a longer period of time and may have to face more unfinished work when we come back. Therefore, many people do not dare to take a week's leave to go abroad even when they are very tired, tired and exhausted.

But this workplace is not healthy. Kathleen Christensen, planning director of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, shared a few things on Linkedin about long vacation travel that everyone, whether supervisors or employees, should know. . 1. Establishment of correct concepts

As far as employees are concerned, many people want to take a good vacation even if they are very tired from work. They even know that their contribution to the company is enough to give them a long vacation. , still dare not submit false orders because they are worried that it will cause trouble to other colleagues. At this time, the supervisor should establish a correct concept for this work environment - proper rest can bring greater benefits to the company, so that employees can ask for leave with confidence.

2. Plan in advance and find substitutes

Now that you know that the company can accept employees occasionally taking a long vacation to travel, you can prepare early. When arranging vacations, you should know yourself After predicting when you will go out for fun and scheduling your vacation, you will start to complete the important work in front of you. At this time, trust and friendship among colleagues are very important.

When we need to take this long vacation, we have to rely on colleagues to help handle or convey some of the tasks that arise during this period. However, it doesn’t mean that you can just leave your work to your colleagues. *** When you go abroad, it is recommended that you create a file and document all the SOPs you always use to deal with things, so that your colleagues can help you deal with things. 3. Make good use of your mailbox system

Mailboxes are not just for sending and receiving letters. Today’s mailboxes are very powerful. Understand the functions of your mailbox, set up the automatic reply function in advance, and make full use of automatic classification and automatic forwarding of letters. These functions can help you. When you return to work, opening your mailbox will not be as scary as defusing a bomb. You will clearly distinguish between what needs to be dealt with urgently and what colleagues have already blocked for you. Things, and things that only need to be looked at. 4. Return one day early

Suppose you ask for leave until Tuesday, and the automatic reply mode of the letter also informs everyone that you will take leave on Tuesday. It is recommended that your vacation should end on Monday. This extra day off on Tuesday can allow you to slowly return to work mode from vacation mode.

On this day, you can take your time at home and pick some tasks that you think are easier to deal with, and solve some smaller-scale things first. This way, when you actually return to the company the next day, you won't be bombarded with all kinds of "You're back?! Can you take a look at this? And sign that!"
