Mental health charity stresses the need to take a break and turn on your out of office during holidays

Thu, Jul 25, 2024

National mental health charity Turn2Me has published a list of four reasons why it’s important to take a break and turn on your out of office email notifications while you are on holidays. The charity stated that taking a break helps reduce stress levels, improves productivity, enhances relationships, and prevents burnout.

Try to resist the urge to check emails, and keep your out of office on, to let colleagues know that you’re unavailable until you come back. If you don’t do this, your time off just becomes a working holiday, which, for most people, defeats the purpose of going on holiday.”
