5 spots to work from for a stunning Zoom background
AS THE work environment becomes more flexible and employees are able to work from anywhere they please, professionals are packing up their laptops and setting up camp where they would normally vacation.
Recent studies have shown that “laptop luggers” will take up to two to four trips a year and up to 75% of them will add extra time to their holiday, compared to one or two trips a year for those who prefer to leave their laptops at home.
“Bleisure” travel also makes Zoom meetings even more interesting.
