Out Of Office

A new group of entrepreneurial 19-35-year-olds are blurring the boundaries between work and play. They’re swapping the office for the poolside and flat whites for fresh juices. Partly it’s thanks to turbo-charged broadband connections as well as digital tools like Slack and Skype, which have made it easier to keep in sync around the globe, live out escapist fantasies and soothe the nerves of clients. But, it’s also due to demands for a healthy lifestyle.

Our Slow Survey findings show 91% of millennials consider their mental health more important than their income, and 52% freely admit they think living in a city is too fast paced. In short, working 9-5 in an office is no longer aspirational: a fact which has helped fuel the rise of a new culture of co-working holidays that provide a space not just to work and play, but also to exchange ideas and collaborate.

“This group are always connected, they are independent and they want to see the world,” explains Liz Elam, founder of Link Coworking in Austin, Texas, and executive producer of the Global Coworking Unconference Conference. “Why not combine all three?”

Now there are a host of new startups that cater to this travelling professional. Think hotel rooms that double as conference spaces, surf holidays that are also networking events, and platforms that ensure your start-up-launch- cum-beach-trip is only a click away.
