How to support employees during the holiday season<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"Employee<\/p>\n

Let’s be honest: the end of the year is associated with stress and mental and physical fatigue. Despite the idyllic images in movies and TV commercials, we often have to tick off a lot on the “to do” list before we sit down at the family table. And it can be overwhelming<\/a> at times. It’s also the culmination of a difficult year – the war in Ukraine, inflation, Covid-19…. Well, even for someone enjoying great health and well-being, the last two years have been difficult. <\/span>What might be the <\/span>
\n reasons<\/span>
\n<\/a> The poorer well-being of your employees during this period? And how to support them during this period?<\/span><\/p>\n

Stress at work<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

These may be work-related problems. The end of the year means sprinting down the final straight – finishing projects, finalizing contracts, preparing annual summaries. This means a lot of work, rushing and stress. What’s more, employees may also want to get as much business done as possible before the holidays so they don’t have to worry about it during their time off.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stress in private life<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A lot of work also awaits those who organize the holidays. This can be a source of stress – we don’t know if we will make it in time and prepare everything. Financial problems may also be associated with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The prospect of a family reunion is also a potential source of great stress and painful emotions. Your employees may have a difficult or even toxic relationship with her. From fatigue with endless political discussion to lack of acceptance based on sexual orientation or history of violence, there are many reasons to distance oneself from relatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some people choose to be alone during this period because it is better and healthier for them. For others, however, Christmas means loneliness. Divorce, loss of a loved one, the need to stay at home due to pandemic conditions are all possible causes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also remember that we receive less sunlight at this time of year, so we may feel worse. People suffering from depression or <\/span>
\n Seasonal affective disorder<\/span>
\n<\/a> (SAD) is affected even more severely.<\/span><\/p>\n
