One of my favorite perks at Resource Guru\u2014aside from our annual <\/span>Guru Gathering<\/span><\/a>, of course\u2014is our <\/span>unofficial work trip budget<\/span>. It’s one of those rare benefits that manages to be simple, flexible, and genuinely impactful.<\/span><\/p>\n

At its core, this perk is about connection. We give everyone \u00a3500 ($650-ish) a year to visit local or international colleagues. And, if someone\u2019s not planning to use their learning and development (L&D) budget for a course or conference (another amazing perk!), they can flex that allowance up to \u00a31,000 ($1,350-ish). That brings their total annual unofficial work trip budget to \u00a31,500 ($2,000-ish).<\/span><\/p>\n

This flexibility means people can shape the experience around what suits them\u2014whether that\u2019s a quick coffee with a teammate in their city, or a full-on trip to another country.<\/span><\/p>\n

This June, eight of us travelled to Budapest to visit Dana, our Customer Support Specialist, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the year. \ud83e\udd73<\/span><\/p>\n
