What Does Workation Mean?

Workation means "Working Vacation."

A workation (sometimes referred to as a worktation) is a combination of work and a vacation. A familiar concept for self-employed people for as long as anyone can remember, the workation is now catching on with some companies, who see it as a means of attracting and retaining the best employees.
