In a manufacturing type environment, I believe that processes should have been setup that when the executive steps away the business continues to operate as expected. However, in a service oriented industry like financial services, clients may have an expectation of 24/7 accessibility. Even if there is a team in place to handle client issues, there may be situations that arise where the executive on vacation needs to be contacted to handle a crisis. <br /><br />I do agree though that the more work done on vacation, the less disconnection between vacation and work. However, I would also like to mention that if someone does do a fair amount of work on vacation, the transition back in the office is less stressful.Alexnoreply@blogger.com
