As the days get shorter, many 9-to-5 workers find it harder to get enough sunlight, which can impact both well-being and productivity. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is common during the darker months, bringing symptoms like fatigue, low motivation, and anxiety that can disrupt productivity. Strategies like flexible working hours and quality breaks during the day can help combat these effects.

It is the same every year, of course. And it may apply just as much to you as them. But as we understand more about well-being and mental health, and the jobs market becomes more fluid, there is a greater business case to take a more flexible and understanding approach to managing staff through winter.
