There is no doubt that there are significant pressures placed on those who work within professional services organisations from time to time. It is also apparent from reports that those working in professional services report higher than average levels of anxiety, depression, fatigue and even, very unfortunately, suicidal ideation than the general population (and in many cases also higher than other professions).

Now’s the time to remind staff of what’s acceptable and not (if you haven’t already). Most employees are becoming increasingly familiar with the work email circulated each year in the run up to the much-loved Christmas party, reminding them to act appropriately, not drink too much, and avoid posting inappropriate pictures on social media.
