Social:Hush trip
In human resources, a hush trip refers to the practice of remote workers working from a location they have not informed their employers about.[1] These trips epitomize freedom for remote workers who are digital nomads.[1]
Details
Workers may disguise their location through a virtual private network (VPN) and book meetings around their schedule to decrease detection.[1] Hush trips introduce cybersecurity, tax, privacy, productivity, and legal issues depending on the location of the employee at the time work is performed.[1][2][3]
Hush trips may be taken as part of bleisure travel or to bypass lengthy corporate approvals.[1][4]
Hush trips may help address occupational burnout by improving workers mental and physical health, boosting morale that leads to productivity gains.[2][5]
The term was popularized following the Great Resignation and the rise of remote work.[6]
