As September sets in, employers are warned about the potential “end of summer hangover” which affects thousands of workers returning to work.

Some one in three workers dread settling back into the daily grind, according to a survey carried out by the organisation Investors in People.

The change of season, and fewer daylight hours are just one factor contributing to the post summer depression.  Employees are reported to be less motivated and dread a stockpile of work and emails.

Investors in People are suggesting that employers ease workers gently back into the working day, starting by simply welcoming them back.   It’s amazing the amount of workplaces that don’t actually do this.  Employers, take note!

They also recommend a mini-reintroduction into the workplace to help prevent a post vacational productivity gap which could impact on the economy.

However, in the current economic climate it seems anyone returning to work is lucky enough to have a job.  And instead of moaning about it, the best way of getting over post-holiday depression is to book another break and have something to look forward to.

Check out Hotelopia’s autumn offers on city breaks.  The summer may (almost) be over, but this the perfect time to visit some of Europe’s top cities for less.  Temperatures have cooled, kids have gone back to school, and hotel prices are cheaper.  So what are you waiting for?
