»»Some Business Travel Is Healthy
The results of a survey on work-related travel habits reveal employees whose travel requires them to spend at least one night away from home, have the highest engagement and satisfaction ratings.
The purpose of this study, released today by Kenexa, leading provider of recruitment solutions, was to determine if business travelers are more or less engaged in their work and if they are more or less likely to leave their organization than are stationary workers.
Respondents were categorized into four groups: No Travel, Light Travel (10%-30% of the time), Heavy Travel (40%-60% of the time) and Road Warrior (70%-100% of the time).
The survey also shows that despite having the highest engagement and satisfaction ratings, members of the Heavy Travel group are also the most likely to consider leaving their organization within the next 12 months.
About work/life balance and stress levels, despite Light Travel and Heavy Travel classifications reported feeling less stress than the other workers did, Road Warriors are more stressed and lack work/life balance. (source)
That means that some business travel is healthy, too much is dangerous.
