Need a break from work?

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Is this how you feel sometimes? If so, you may be in need of a break. Reports frequently suggest that people in Britain work some of the longest hours in Europe. Working long hours can cause stress, and stress can lead to other problems, like ill health and relationship breakdowns.

Need a break from work? Take a career break!

We suggest… a career break! It doesn't have to be a long one - just long enough to for you to realise there's a world outside the office.

You might want to learn to discover a new country, learn a new skill or do some volunteer work. And if you'd like to take more exercise than walking from your desk to the printer, there's a whole range of walking, camping and adventure tours.

Putting aside your office worries for a few days can benefit you, your work, your health, your company, your partner and your friends and family.
