Vacations from Work

Why are 33% of us compelled to stay in contact with the office or take work with us while on vacation? To truly enjoy your vacation time, leave everything work-related behind and follow these tips;
• Submit your vacation request in writing at least a month before you leave.
• Inform co-workers and clients.
• Tell your boss where you can be reached in case of emergency.
• Change your voice mail and set up an automatic e-mail response stating your vacation dates and whom to contact in your absence.
• Brief your replacement on your latest projects at least a week before you go.
• Tell co-workers and clients who will be handling your work while you're away.
• Try not to schedule big meetings or appointments the day of your return
• Have fun.
