Also, we will touch on where the responsibility lies when it comes to preventing the blues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Post vacation syndrome (PVS)<\/strong> is commonly called the blues. PVS typically appears in individuals who have recently returned to work following a holiday of a week or more. Typical symptoms include a lack of focus and difficulty concentrating. Many employees often experience irritability, the overall feeling of discomfort, or an inability to sit still.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The result of PVS<\/strong> can be any one of the following, including a decrease in productivity, disinterest in one\u2019s work, and constant daydreaming of the next vacation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All-in-all, depression experienced after a period of vacation isn\u2019t pretty. With some techniques on how to prevent falling down the slippery slope of post vacation depression, you can ensure a smooth transition back to work.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10007 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/27134754\/post-vacation-depression.jpg\" alt=\"post vacation depression\" width=\"795\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How to Cope with Post Vacation Blues<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coping is not a solution! But, identifying the triggers that bring on the blues, can help us reverse engineer our thought process so that we don\u2019t fall into the blues in the first place. Have I lost you? Here\u2019s an example to illustrate the concept.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If after the holidays, you always come back to work with a<em> lack of focus<\/em> and <em>wandering mind<\/em>, ask yourself one thing. <strong>What is it that triggers this lack of focus<\/strong>? Ie. on holidays you release all the stress of your day to day and upon returning to work, it all comes rushing back. All of these feelings then block your mind and ability to place clear focus and concentration on a particular task. If this is your situation, then prepare yourself better for your first day back so it won\u2019t be full of stress.<\/p>\n<h3>How Employees Can Prevent the Blues<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Is post holiday blues a syndrome or is it just a habit we fall into? I\u2019d tend to lean towards it being a pattern of thinking, which is triggered by a cue, thus activating the habit which ultimately translates into the post travel holiday depression.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The best way to help yourself adjust back into your day to day routine is with the following:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Resume healthy habits. <\/strong>Eat a balanced diet, stay hydrated, continue exercising, and make sure you are getting enough sleep. You don\u2019t want to fall victim to these<a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/common-workplace-illnesses\/\"> common workplace illnesses<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ease into your schedule. <\/strong>Once the vacation is over, you must return to your daily habits. For many people, this translates to sleeping fewer hours and waking up early. To adapt yourself, it\u2019s a good idea to start setting your alarm earlier. You can do this a few days before you return from holidays so your body won\u2019t be in shock the first day back.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid returning to work right away. <\/strong>Allow yourself a few days to physically and mentally prepare yourself before returning to the office. Returning to the routine too quickly, without adequate transition time can do more harm than good.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spread out your vacation days<\/strong>. As we said before, returning to work after a long stretch isn\u2019t easy, which is why it may be a good idea to spread out your vacation days. Choosing to take time off throughout the year for many small vacations, rather than for one long one, is often better.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attitude, Attitude, Attitude. <\/strong>Maintaining a positive attitude upon returning to work after the holidays is key. This can be achieved by focusing on the positive aspects of your work\/home routine (ie. reconnecting with your co-workers, learning something new, enjoying the comfort of your home life, visiting with friends and family, etc).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To keep better track of the vacations of your employees, we recommend you use Factorial.

Take for example the worker who has the best mindset in the world. If they return back to work, only to find a stack of papers and to-do&#8217;s placed there by the boss, no amount of post-holiday depression prevention techniques will suffice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do you see the problem with this situation? <strong>Humans are human, not robots<\/strong>; let\u2019s say this again&#8230;Humans are not robots. We cannot simply flip a switch and begin functioning at 100% following an extended period of rest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prepping your employees before and after the holidays is crucial to helping them adjust in and out of vacation mode. Here are some ways you can\u00a0help your employees through the process of adapting after their vacation.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Before Vacation<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Organize beforehand. <\/strong>Support your team in organizing their workload. Make sure they have delegated the tasks to the correct person who will be in charge in their absence.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Workplace environment. <\/strong>Creating a <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-healthy-work-environment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">healthy workplace<\/a> that your employees enjoy coming back to is one of the best things an employer can do.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Post Vacation<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Host an Event. <\/strong>It\u2019s important that your employees don\u2019t rush straight into work, but rather ease back into everything. Hosting an event for your staff provides the opportunity for them to reunite after the holidays in a fun and relaxed atmosphere before returning to the grind. If you don&#8217;t have time to plan an event, don&#8217;t worry. <em>A<\/em> quick online search for team building will generate an assortment of team building activities. A team lunch following the holidays is also another great activity to offer your employees.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Review Objectives &amp; Task. <\/strong>Following the holidays, we often forget where we left off. For this reason, it is vital to spend the first few days following vacations, reorganizing and refocusing within each department. Holding team meetings are a great way to help your employees set clear objectives under your expert guidance. This is also a good time to set new goals, determine deadlines, and plan the upcoming weeks.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Vary the Routine. <\/strong>Changing the routine to incorporate something new is a great way to keep employees engaged following the holidays. Remember, it\u2019s the little things that make the biggest difference. Something as small as offering free fruit once a week to the staff, or allowing flexible starting hours. All of these initiatives help contribute to a healthy work environment. More often than not, it\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/emotional-salary-employee-happiness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">emotional salary<\/a> that employees value the most.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Adjustment Hours. <\/strong>Transitioning from rest and relaxation to working 8+ hours a day, is a sure-fire way to guarantee your employees will more likely fall into after holiday depression. Help your employees adjust to the time with a flexible workplace environment. Reducing the hours during the first week or two to summer hours before switching to a full day, helps with the transition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more topics like post vacation blues, employee satisfaction, taxes, time off, and more, subscribe to the blog in the righthand column of the page.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\">Register with Factorial &amp; Manage Employee Vacations Better.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know that returning to your routine after a long break from work is difficult, to say the least, but do we know why?
