By taking a year out to travel the world in wellness, whilst learning to manage stress, get fit and learn a healthier lifestyle, professionals can gain real value from their sabbatical by investing in the long-term answer to Sunday evening meltdowns.

Don't sweat it

While taking a year off used to be synonymous with career suicide, things have changed. Amongst many employers, there’s a growing understanding of the need for encouraging health and well-being in staff - not only does it make business sense to retain great staff, but team members who feel valued are more productive and creative. In a nutshell, allowing yourself adequate time off to recover is not only essential for your psychological and physical health, but also optimum job performance.

Enhance your prospects

Life experience may be a broad term, but in the workplace it is becoming an increasingly important asset. A healthy sabbatical provides the ideal opportunity to enjoy career-enhancing adventures all over the world. Time away will help you to assess your work with fresh eyes, while your international travels will equip you with a new phrasebook and understanding of different cultures. In fact, if you can prove your sabbatical will improve your career performance, your employer may give you more time off.
