Nowadays a few people take their family with them abroad whenever they go on a business trip. Is it a positive or negative development in your opinion? To what extent do you support this development?

Using every chance to spend more time with their dear ones is generally everybody’s goal, yet these days not many people prefer having family members accompanying them on a work trip. I strongly feel the downsides of

this

trend far outnumber the advantages, and that many families could benefit from travelling together on all occasions namely parents with small children.

This

essay will discuss both sides using examples from the Norwegian government and the

Business

Insider to demonstrate points and prove arguments. On the one

hand

, there is ample evidence supporting the view that it might be a good idea if people who travel abroad for work bring their spouse and children with them. The reason behind

this

is twofold,

travellers would not have to battle with the feeling that they are missing out on their children growing up and so to enjoy themselves while away for job purposes. In fact, a survey conducted by the

Business

Insider showed that 90% of the most successful man of enterprise stated that keeping their family close by at all times was the crucial part of developing a prosperous career.

Therefore

, it is conclusively clear that it could be mutually beneficial for close members of a family to stay together even when travelling for official reasons.

On the other

hand

, negatives of being accompanied by family members at the time of temporary work overseas cannot be overstated.

This

is largely because the basic purpose of the trip can be disrupted if a person, from who results made is expected of, has its mind occupied with the thoughts of its family.

For example

, recent empirical research by the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Industry demonstrated that 70% of professionals who bring their family for working trip cannot focus on their tasks while thinking of their family well-being. Consistent with

this

line of thinking is that attending to family matters during working journeys could have adverse effects on assignment progress.

Consequently

, it is possible to state beyond doubt that working people should leave out their relatives from

business

travels with the aim of maximizing task achievement. To conclude, from the arguments and examples given I firmly believe that

although

family presence and productivity sometimes do not go

while travelling for

business

, if balanced purposefully it could be life improving both for the

business

people and their family.
