The Lotte Members workation started in 2021 and is continuing for the third year this year. A total of 96 employees, 12 per session, will work remotely in Jeju Island for one week each. Participants are selected through a public lottery among applicants for each session.

Until last year, the workation schedule involved working four days from Monday to Thursday and taking Friday off, but this year the working days have been reduced to three, allowing employees to take Thursday and Friday off as vacation days. In addition to the previously provided five days of hotel accommodation, this year an activity allowance of 100,000 KRW per person will also be given.

Currently, Lotte Members is implementing a flexible work system, and during the workation period, if employees start work at 7 a.m., they can leave from 2 p.m. after a minimum of six hours of work. Last month, the flexible work system was partially revised, expanding the autonomous start time from between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. to between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m.

A Lotte Members official said, “We hope that the workation will be an opportunity for recharging so that employees, who are adapting once again to new changes after returning to office work in the endemic (periodic infectious disease outbreaks), can regain the strength to move forward.”
