August 'a hard time to work'
August may have brought some motivational challenges for people in sales jobs, a new article suggests.
Writing for the Guardian, Laura Marcus states that August feels like a month in which nobody should work - which is why working in the eighth month of the year can be so difficult.
"August is a whole month of Friday afternoons when part of your brain refuses to engage and scolds you for swimming against the tide instead of in a pool or the sea like everyone else," she asserts.
In news that may resonate with employees struggling to perform their sales jobs while their colleagues are on holiday, the writer suggests that "the feeling of missing out" is key to this difficulty.
A survey by Kayak.co.uk carried out online this year found that 90 per cent of respondents reported that taking at least one holiday a year is one of the five most important factors contributing to their overall happiness.
