  • 52% took their holiday entitlement in 2012 whilst;
  • 48% didn’t and missed out on their full holiday entitlement
Some companies advise their staff to take lunch breaks in order to cool-down and walk away from their work so they can have a clearer and different perspective when they come back to it. Healthy foods are always a benefit to your health and can also make you feel alert. Most understand this; a heavy meal makes you feel tired and often leads to a desire for a snooze – not great for a sales pro which I guess is why the huge carvery is best kept for Sundays!

Sandwiches seem the popular choice for a typical lunch; they are filling but they are also light and small, which would allow the workers the time to quickly eat before returning to their desk.


A great method that is used to effectively relieve stress or conquer depression and anxiety is to perform some physical activity either at home or at the gym; exercising is an effective method which some sales experts practise. It can lift moods, be a great technique for eliminating pressure from a hard day’s work and also be beneficial for keeping healthy.
