Emotional health during the pandemic
The pandemic has taken a toll on emotional health. How individuals and organizations can support mental wellbeing during and after extended periods of crisis.
Employees around the world are in need of policies that support mental and emotional health amid the pandemic. Remote work increased the working hours worldwide and people are closer to burnouts than ever before. As a response, several companies have introduced extra days off for their employees. LinkedIn for example, shut down for a full work week, giving nearly all 16k employees worldwide five extra days off. Since last summer, Google has given workers two days extra paid holidays. Dosh grants employees self-chosen long weekends. This is a new approach to tackling more than a year of remote work due to the pandemic.
