 Employees need to take "time out" during the working day, according to a leading life coach.Lynette Allen, a life coach for women, has said that the hectic work culture of Britain "is not productive". She recommends that taking time out can help people be productive, suggesting a "half hour walk around the block." It is also useful to focus on something rather than work, which can give you a "slightly different perspective" when you return to the office, according to Ms Allen. She adds that work pressures can lead to stress and anxiety, which can over time lead to unwanted illnesses. "Part of our responsibility for ourselves and our families is to take a step back to work out how to bring balance back into focus, to work out what we like doing that has got nothing to do with work," Ms Allen concluded. A recent YouGov study, commissioned by insurance firm RSA, calculated that six million people have sued their employer in the previous 12 months for injuries or illness at work.  |
