Employers giving burned out workers a break
June 29, 2021
Mozilla, which normally holds an annual two-week off-site meeting, made the decision to cancel that event and instead close the company down for a “Wellness Week” to help employees de-stress from the added workload they’ve faced since the novel coronavirus pandemic began. The company has also instituted a new “Wellness Day” program that gives employees one Friday off a month throughout the entire year. Other companies are taking other steps to help employees better deal with the work/life challenges they face as individuals.
