Nike gave its office workers a week-long holiday to de-stress. The sportswear company closed its offices so workers could "enjoy additional time off to rest and recover". Nike wanted workers to "take the time to unwind, de-stress and spend time with…loved ones." Nike's store workers worked as usual.
Nike said: "Taking time for rest and recovery is key to performing well.…This past year has been rough. We're all human and living through a traumatic event." The holiday shows that Nike cares about mental health. The company wrote: "Support your people. It's good business, but it's also the right thing to do."
Back to the de-stressing lesson.
