Work or Vacation? How about Workation! | PrimeGlobal’s Workation Initiative

PrimeGlobal Malta

Combining business and leisure travel is not a new phenomenon – the portmanteau ‘bizcation’, also known as ‘bleisure’, was coined back in 2009 to describe the mix of business and  leisure travel, allowing people to explore new places whilst being away for work. But in the post-pandemic era of remote work, bleisure travel has been not just revitalized but given a new lease on life. Forward-thinking and adaptive in the modern work environment companies  began to promote remote work policies and  implement various arrangements in this context, giving birth to the new trend of ‘workation’.

Last year, PrimeGlobal, a worldwide award-winning association of independent accounting firms and business advisers, introduced its WORKATION initiative, blending work and vacation to offer a unique experience for its member firms. So, what is a workation? Everyone has been there: at the end of a vacation, packing up your things and wishing you could stay a little longer – if only you didn’t have to get back to the office. Now, you have such an opportunity! You can extend your stay abroad and experience a few extra days working in an international environment, just as you would do from your own home or office.

Arranging a workation through the PrimeGlobal community is straightforward.

If you’re a PrimeGlobal’s member participating this initiative and plan to visit Malta, Griffiths + Associates will warmly welcome you with a desk, internet connection, a smile, and a coffee.

Conversely, if anyone from Griffiths + Associates team wants to spend a few extra days working remotely while vacationing in any major city, it’s easy to arrange through PrimeGlobal members.

Among the participating cities are London, Vienna, Milan, Paris, Lisbon, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Dublin, Zurich + Zug, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Hamburg, Melbourne, Houston, Singapore, Bangalore, Durban, Istanbul, Dubai and Oslo. A complete list of participating offices is available here https://www.primeglobal.net/pg-workation

Griffiths + Associates, as a member of PrimeGlobal, and in alignment with its ESG strategy, encourages colleagues to actively participate in this initiative.

A workation idea indicates a major leap forward in the contemporary work environment, offering a well-balanced combination of productivity and leisure. Embracing it, you not just transform your conventional workspace but also enhance your lives, as a worcation is a wonderful way how we can blend work with our innate desire for exploration, travelling and new experiences.   And this fosters a lifestyle that balances the best of both work and leisure, leading to a more fulfilling and happy existence.
