taying focused in the office as you return from your summer holidays can be a challenge, especially when it can often be the busiest time of year. In our On the Job feature this month, we bring you six tips to help you stay focused at work. Of course, there are easy things to do right now. Stopping reading Olé is not one of them (we pride ourselves in our useful office-related content), but closing your partly hidden Facebook screen that peeks out behind that important report you’re working on is. There are things you can do to swiftly minimise mental stumbling blocks, leading to the birth of a more-organised, über-efficient version of yourself (for five minutes at least). This issue also brings you a guide to London’s office* show this month – the main event for PAs, office executives and managers. There is so much going on at this ever-growing yearly event, that it’s often hard to know where to start. We bring you the best bits to look out for when you’re there. We give you the chance to win tickets to see The Vagina Monologues – a must-see show that’s all about the girl power. Olé has also arranged for 50% off all fruit orders for readers at Fruit DID YOU KNOW? for the Office, so if you’re worried 40% of Olé readers arrange you’re not getting your five-a-day, conferences or book now’s your chance. The healthier you meeting facilities for their office are, the better you’ll do at work.
