How can businesses beat the 'Blue Monday' blues?

Today is the saddest day of the year: Blue Monday. Statistically, the third Monday of the month is labelled as the saddest day of the year for employees.

However, research from Moorepay now suggests that most businesses are still unaware that their staff are suffering today and being ignorant towards the significance of it. Whilst the large majority (81%) of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) believe they aren't affected by the January blues, two-thirds (67%) of employees are currently fed up at work and lack motivation.
