Workers in offices to rent in Edinburgh who have just been on holiday may be some of the people that find it more difficult than they usual to cope with the demands of their job.
A spokesperson for European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology said that "when an individual returns to work, their level of work-related stress can be even more pronounced", especially if they are exposed to "psychosocial risks".
These include workplace bullying, unreasonable demands and pressures and poor relationships with their colleagues.
People that have been on holiday have had a chance for their "psycho-physiological systems" to recuperate and this can "affect the way they cope" when they return, the representative continued.
Furthermore, individuals can go back to their job to discover "an even higher workload than before", which would exacerbate the problem, the spokesperson pointed out.
Colleagues of the holidaymaker can also suffer during their absence, with 29 per cent of respondents to a Sovereign Health Care poll stating that their stress increased when other people are absent from work due to holidays.
