Meesho announces 11-day break for employees to prioritise mental health
Meesho has planned an 11-day company-wide holiday from October 22 to November 1 this year to support the workforce in recharging their mental health. Called Reset and Recharge, this industry-first initiative will allow Meesho employees to 'completely unplug from work and prioritise their mental well-being' after the busy festive sale period.
FollowHomegrown social commerce platform Meesho, in yet another innovative step for its employees, has planned an 11-day company-wide holiday from October 22 to November 1 this year to support the workforce in recharging their mental health. This ground-breaking project, called Reset and Recharge, would enable Meesho staff to “completely unplug from work and prioritise their mental well-being" after the busy festive sale period.
Meesho announced the change for the second year in a row, claiming that it is evidence of its "ongoing dedication to creating a people-centric environment, one that really cares after its workers – our greatest asset."
Reset and Recharge claimed in a statement published on Wednesday that it would pave the way for other businesses to adopt comparable employee-first policies at a time when burnout and anxiety have become major problems for today's workforce.

"To create a great business culture, it is necessary to emphasise the importance of work-life balance, rest, and rejuvenation for employees. We're pushing the boundaries and redefining traditional workplace standards with Reset and Recharge," said Ashish Kumar Singh, Meesho's chief human resources officer.
A boundaryless workplace paradigm, indefinite wellness leave, 30-week gender-neutral parental leave, and 30-day gender reassignment leave are just a few of the innovative ideas Meesho has been at the forefront of. The company's concerted efforts to create a dynamic workplace founded on the foundations of employee flexibility and empowerment are amplified by the Reset and Recharge policy.
