At this time of year, it seems that the office environment is full of people taking time off for all sorts of reasons. As winter approaches, your team may begin to succumb to the various coughs and colds which affect most of us when seasons change.
Switching Off At The End Of A Workday

For the majority of managers, we’re contracted to work around 35 hours per week.
We go in at around nine in the morning, work until lunch, and then leave after five.
This is what we are paid to do.
Why is it, then, that so many of us refuse to switch off when we leave work?
We’re not paid for the time we spend at three in the morning, mulling over issues in the dark. We aren’t offered overtime for the hours we spend over the weekend thinking about work, or the days spent with half our minds dedicated to worrying about work-related issues.

We all have difficult days at the office.
