As we bid farewell (say goodbye) to the holiday season, many of us find ourselves getting ready for the return to the office. This blog post will help ESL learners improve their Business English vocabulary related to this transition. In this guide, tailored for English learners, we'll explore four typical expressions, phrasal verbs, and key phrases to navigate the post-holiday return to the office.

  • Hit the Ground Running: To start a task with great energy and enthusiasm. Example: Let’s hit the ground running! We have a lot of work to do this year!

  • Catch Up: Bringing oneself up to date on work, projects, or information after a break. Example: Let’s catch up on all our projects. We need to make sure we are up to date on everything that has been going on.
