Shopping site Meesho has announced a 9-day holiday for all its employees. The purpose of this holiday is to give employees a chance to reset and recharge. The company has implemented a no laptop, meeting, email and call holiday rule during this period. This holiday will run from October 26 to November 4. This policy of Meesho is getting a lot of positive response on the social media platform LinkedIn. Now the question is why is it necessary to take leave from work, and how important it can be for the company and the employees. Let's find out.
Why is leave from work necessary?
It is good for any company to get work done from its employees, but it is also important to take care of their health. Sometimes employees ignore their health due to work. The stress of constant work can make employees sick, which is not only harmful for them but also for the company. Therefore, it becomes very important to take leave from time to time.
Benefits of taking time off from work : 1. Improved productivity
When employees work without any enthusiasm and under stress, their work performance is affected. After spending a happy holiday, they return to work with a fresh mind, which increases their productivity. Many companies have seen the benefits of this experiment, and have received positive results from it.
2. Stress is reduced
Taking some time out from the busy work routine to go on a vacation, relax and have fun not only makes the mind happy but it also reduces the body's stress hormone cortisol. This improves the health of employees.
3. Lower risk of heart disease
People who go on long vacations twice a year have a lower risk of heart diseases. According to research, people who take such vacations have 8 times less heart disease than others. On the other hand, if a person does not go on a long vacation even once a year, he has a 32% higher risk of heart attack.
4. Get new energy
Taking a break from the pressure of work improves the decision-making ability of employees, and increases their work power. People who take vacations are generally more active and happy, which also reflects positively on their work. Therefore, taking time off from work is not only important for the health of employees, but it is also beneficial for companies. Vacations not only improve productivity but also improve the mental and physical health of employees. This initiative by Meesho should inspire other companies to understand the importance of giving proper leaves to their employees.
