Workation at Raiffeisen Tech Poland: Where Flexibility Fuels Innovation

In today’s fast-evolving technology landscape, the environments where we work are as important as the work itself. At Raiffeisen Tech Poland, we recognize that great technology solutions emerge from teams empowered to balance focus, creativity, and well-being. This understanding has inspired us to introduce a workation benefit—allowing our employees to work remotely for up to 30 days from any location within the European Union.

What is a workation?

Workation is an increasingly popular form of work that allows employees to carry out their professional duties from any location within the European Union while simultaneously enjoying the perks of travel and relaxation. The idea is that work doesn’t need to be confined to the office and can be effectively done in a chosen environment. This encourages relaxation and stimulates creativity.

At Raiffeisen Tech, we offer our employees the opportunity to work remotely for 30 days from any location in the European Union. This shows that work-life balance isn’t just a theory here but a practice! Additionally, each of our employees can take advantage of our sabbatical program, offering one, two, or even three months off work – more details to come soon.

How do our employees use workation? Klaudia’s Workation in Croatia

Klaudia is a Communications Expert at Raiffeisen Tech Poland. She shares how her workation experience in Croatia brought unexpected benefits. Initially hesitant about balancing work and leisure in a new setting, Klaudia found that thoughtful planning and flexible hours allowed her to maintain productivity while embracing the local culture and environment. The daily sunshine and fresh surroundings boosted her motivation and overall well-being, enabling her to return to work reenergized and with renewed focus.

  • What are the biggest benefits of workation for you?
    I found that where there's a will, there's a way. The change of scenery boosted my creativity and motivation to work. I can’t overlook the improvement in my overall well-being either. Although the weather in Poland at this time of year is usually nice, in Croatia, I could count on a daily dose of sunshine and relaxation, which I really needed. Additionally, discovering a new culture and cuisine was a valuable experience. I returned to Poland full of energy and ready for new challenges.
  • Was it difficult to balance work and relaxation in a new place?
    At first, I had some concerns about whether I could work effectively in a new environment. I'm quite particular about my workspace and conditions. But it quickly turned out that proper day planning allows for a successful combination of work and relaxation. Flexibility in remote work was key – I could adjust my working hours to fit my daily schedule, which made balancing work and leisure much easier

Why Workation Matters?

By breaking free from traditional office confines, our people gain the freedom to design their workdays around environments that inspire them. This flexibility nurtures creativity, reduces burnout, and fosters a mindset open to new ideas—qualities essential for developing cutting-edge banking applications that serve millions across the RBI Group.
