The German tour operator Schauinsland offers its employees the opportunity to extend their annual leave as part of the "Workation" program. To do this, employees are supposed to work at the holiday destination. "If you book four weeks in Gran Canaria, for example, you can spend two weeks on holiday there and then work remotely for another two weeks," explains managing director Gerald Kassner, whose son Steffen Kassner came up with the idea for this program. "We are always looking for ways to make jobs in our company even more attractive. Offering this modern form of work is therefore a logical step," explains Steffen Kassner. "In the tough competition for skilled workers, we have recently been able to hold our own as an attractive employer. I would like to help ensure that this remains the case in the future." The tour operator also advertises numerous other benefits to new employees, such as regular salary increases and additional benefits. Only in November did the company announce that it would pay out the inflation compensation bonus of 3.000 euros made possible by the federal government in full to all team members in order to support employees in the current difficult times. Last year, the tour operator hired a total of almost 80 new employees and 10 apprentices. Due to the recent strong sales development, the travel provider wants to continue to grow this year. There are currently more than 20 positions advertised for the company's location in Duisburg and for Schauinsland travel agencies throughout Germany.
