As the sunnier days draw us out and the holiday season kicks off across the UK, it’s a perfect time to ponder a crucial aspect of our lives—can we genuinely switch off from work? With bags packed and out-of-office replies set, the real question is: Are you still ‘mentally’ at work even while on holiday?
Sadly, for many of us, the idea of a vacation is less about lounging on sunny beaches and more about sneaking peeks at work emails between dips in the pool. In fact, 67% of working Brits feel under pressure to check their company emails when they are on holiday, most especially business owners and managers. But isn’t the true measure of success being able to completely relax, confident in the knowledge that your business is ticking along nicely without you?
This is the ultimate test of your business’s resilience and your team’s reliability. If thoughts of unchecked emails and unmet targets still haunt your holiday peace, it might be time to re-evaluate not just your business operations but how you measure your own success.
True success means building a business that sustains itself, where team members are empowered and systems and processes are so solid that they can handle your absence. A well-oiled machine where every part knows its role, freeing you to recharge without worry.
So, as you plan your summer getaway, ask yourself: Is my business set up in a way that allows me true peace of mind when I’m not there? If the answer is no, then perhaps it’s time for some strategic tweaks.
Enjoy your holiday to the fullest— you’ve earned it! And remember, a well-rested leader is a more effective leader. Let’s make sure our businesses can run smoothly in our absence, not as a luxury, but as a testament to our hard work and effective planning.
