Workation and Digital Nomadism

The talk reports rapid growth in digital nomadism (about +50% from 2019–2020) with over 6 million employees working as nomads and roughly 90% reporting improved work–life balance and 70% satisfied with income. It identifies main challenges—tax/legal gray zones and unreliable local internet—and describes company responses: redesigning processes toward fewer meetings and more asynchronous work (including audio updates), experimenting with remote‑work visas, and adopting remote‑first hiring and retention strategies.
