Wellbeing | How to hang on to that 'holiday feeling'

Tracey Ward, Head of Business Development and Marketing at Generali UK Employee Benefits, interviews Moira Marshall, Alliances Manager and Counselling Psychologist at LifeWorks; Generali UK’s wellbeing partner and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provider

For most people holidays from work can do wonders for their mental and physical health. However, all too often this becomes a distant memory when work kicks in again. In this interview, Tracey discusses with Moira how to maintain that post-holiday boost. Also, how to achieve a better work-life balance throughout the year.

Tracey: The days are now getting ever shorter and I’m sure many have experienced the back to work blues in recent weeks. What suggestions would you give to try to help people overcome this?

Moira: I think sometimes we almost put ourselves into that mindset; a mindset that says we can only have that feeling in the summer months when the weather is warm, and the days are long and carefree.
