How Often Do You Check-in While on Vacation?

Crackberry addicts

We recently surveyed more than 2,200 business professional members across our network of 15,000 niche career sites. We asked them “When you are on vacation, do you check-in with your office?” The purpose of this survey was to gather and share valuable information about the habits and interests of those who are using CollegeRecruiter.com and the rest of the sites in our network to search for internships, entry level job opportunities and other career information.

The results were:

  • 77 percent of respondents check-in with the office while on vacation. Of those, 40 percent check both voicemail and email messages, 16 percent only check email, and 20 percent only voicemail.
  • 22 percent do not check-in with the office while on vacation.

As the use of portable devices continues to grow and Internet access is more readily available, it is apparent that professionals feel the need to stay connected to the office, which may signify a struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
