Several employees experience anxiety around the holidays, which affects their mental wellbeing, a recent study focused on the Middle East has highlighted, coinciding with the summer break starting this month.
New findings from the survey by global talent solutions provider Robert Walters revealed that 65 per cent of professionals in the Middle East felt anxious upon returning to work after their annual leave while only 22pc felt refreshed and ready to work after a long holiday.
Many professionals resorted to ‘firefighting’ tactics and continued to check their emails – with 54pc saying they do it to reduce the backlog they will return to and 41pc, to stay on top of urgent matters.
