How often? Well, in the UK, business travelers are away an average of 25 nights per year.
- 47% would like to bring their partners with them
- 25% thinks being apart puts a strain in their relationships
- 45% of the younger bracket (16-24) say that getting away from their partners is a BONUS of business travel!!!
I am a working mother of 2 who goes away on business even up to 35x per year. Leaving the kids and my husband at home does leave me feeling guilty. While away, I always worry if everything is alright. And I always wonder if my absence would have a lasting negative effect.
Like what I always say and practice, the best thing that we can do for now is to (1) make sure that each trip is maximized in order to avoid follow-up visits which could have been taken cared of previously; (2) make full use of the technology available if and when there is actually no need to have a face-to-face meeting and/or, (3) used those mileage wisely and schedule extended vacations with the family.
What about YOU? Any other advice you might want to share with us?
