Hush trip

In human resources, a hush trip refers to the practice of remote workers working from a location they have not informed their employers about. These trips epitomize freedom for remote workers who are digital nomads.

Workers may disguise their location through a virtual private network (VPN) and book meetings around their schedule to decrease detection. Hush trips introduce cybersecurity, tax, privacy, productivity, and legal issues depending on the location of the employee at the time work is performed.

Hush trips may be taken as part of bleisure travel or to bypass lengthy corporate approvals.

Hush trips may help address occupational burnout by improving workers mental and physical health, boosting morale that leads to productivity gains.

The term was popularized following the Great Resignation and the rise of remote work.
