About Holidaily:

During daily life, employees usually have little time for recovery and have therefore great expectations for their next vacation. Disappointingly, the recovery experienced during a vacation is short lived and fades-out soon after having returned to work. This is usually due to the renewed experience of work related stress and daily hassles, exhausting employees physical and psychological resources yet again.

However, with a few changes to daily life with help from Holidaily this could be easily managed.

This smartphone-based app supports employee’s engagement in recovery activities during their vacation. As vacations present the ideal environment to restore drained resources by

spending time enjoying looking after oneself.

The primary goal of Holidaily is for employees to maintain their recovery behaviour by integrating recovery activities into their daily life, which is where it is needed the most in order to keep levels of stress at bay.

Therefore: Holidaily, a daily holiday experience
