Back to Work - September TWBM article

As many of us return from summer holidays and time off, it’s important to remember to look after our mental health as we ease back into work routines. In this month’s Tunbridge Wells Business magazine, we’re sharing some helpful tips on how to look after your well-being.

Our chosen HR software partner, Breathe, highlights that evidence shows negative workplace cultures can have a profound impact on people’s health. In fact, research from Mind suggests that poor mental health in the workplace costs the UK economy an astonishing £100 billion per year.

Here are a few simple tips to help you take care of your well-being as you return to work.

• Ease back in gently – Give yourself time to settle into your workload rather than rushing to catch up.

• Set boundaries – Protect your work-life balance by logging off on time and taking proper breaks.

• Stay connected – Talking with colleagues or friends can make the return feel less overwhelming.

• Prioritise self-care – Whether it’s exercise, reading, or spending time with loved ones, make time for activities that recharge you.

• Ask for support if you need it – Don’t hesitate to speak up if you’re struggling; most workplaces now have support structures in place.
