Every year in the UK, more than 9.9m working days are lost to stress. And with the rise of 24/7 emails, insecure employment, and automation – our jobs are often the main culprit. So how can you stop taking your work worries home with you?
As today is National Stress Awareness Day, we’re looking for the best ways to relax after a stressful day at work. From mindfulness meditation to drinking calming teas or relaxing with a good book – how do you de-stress after a difficult day?
We want to hear your experiences of stress in the workplace, and your tips for de-stressing. What causes you the most stress in your job? What could your organisation do to improve mental health in the workplace? And what advice do you have for switching off?
