Soon after the holiday season ends, the back-to-work blues take over. Shreya Biswas offers some tips on easing into the process.
1 Keep a day for Yourself Plan your holiday in such a way that you dedicate a day to yourself before you join office. “Address your personal commitments. It will help you sink back to your work without feeling the pressure,” says Zacharias Cherian, country HR director – Agilent Technologies.
2 Share your Stories Connect
with your colleagues informally. Share your holiday experiences. “The
story-sharing will help you get back your interest in work,” says
Shalini Sarin, VP, HR, Schneider Electric.
3 Take Stock Clearing
e-mails needs to be one of the priorities when you return to work.
“Take a day just to reply to those and figure out what has been going on
while you were away,” says Cherian.
4 Get Back Slowly Don’t
immerse yourself in work the day you join. “Don’t get into meetings
right away, instead prepare for them and then call for one,” says Sarin.
5 Prioritise Address
the most important issues first. Meeting one or two of your most
valuable customers or taking stock of how much work is done on an
important project, for instance. “It will give you a feeling of being in
sync with what is happening around you as you get back,” says Cherian.
