There is no doubt that you spend more time with your co-workers than anyone else. But, even as friendships blossom from cubicle to cubicle, do you really want to go on vacation with your co-workers?

Companies are now using corporate vacation (vacation on the company dime) as morale boosters and team building exercises.

With increasing work demand, some companies are re-defining how they reward employees. As more professionals seem to value experience and adventure companies are using travel to motivate their employees.

Does it work?

The companies that are currently using these methods report a boost in morale and greater team connection. It not only gave employees a chance to experience one another outside the confines of work, it also provides a space to forge stronger bonds.
