LinkedIn employees worldwide are getting a paid week off starting April 5. The entire company is getting the time off as an opportunity to unplug, recharge and avoid burnout.

The entire company is getting the time off as an opportunity to unplug, recharge and avoid burnout. "We wanted to make sure we could give them something really valuable, and what we think is most valuable right now is time for all of us to collectively walk away," said Teuila Hanson, LinkedIn's chief people officer, who joined the company in June.

' Free Pelotons and iPads: How Wall Street is fighting Covid burnoutThe recent survey that we had, things are better, we had a [company-wide] shutdown at the end of the year the last week of December so we saw better results and better comments that people felt refreshed, they felt energized, and I think now that we have a vaccine and, at least in the United States and some other geographies, it looks like there is a path out of this, we are definitely hearing more positive sentiments from...

Imagine, choosing the long-term health of your employees & company over a week’s worth of incremental profit and productivity. Amazing. What a tremendous statement.

If only they cared about the misinformation(Qanon posts) that gets spread on their platform..

Sana all.

How do you burn out as an employee at LinkedIn

In the real world we call that Paid Time Off....(tgj) pto

Burnout? Soft Communist News Network

If I say, “Please help me and my child. I’ve been raped and my daughter is in danger” nobody bats an eye, but if I said, “Hey I put a bomb in the whitehouse”(just example) then it’s a “big deal” because it would endanger someone “important”. Thanks MoGov

That’s good. Let’s mandate when people can go into v-mode

the rest of the country calls that the weekend.

A week off with pay sounds good to me

WOW!!!!....that is HUGE!!!!!....and I am sure....very well earned by all!!!!....maintaining good mental health must be truly respected but your employer!!!!.....resting body and mind will bring a refreshed and clearer mindset to your position!!!...happy for all concerned!!!

Was LinkedIn essential workers? Why don’t Companies do this for essential workers who worked from day one of COVID-19 to present they are more burned out than people working from home.

Wow a whole week 😳

They are the only lucky ones!

Well thought

Mehn! I wanna work for LinkedIn

Pray instead!

Sounds like Tesla owners manual

Good. Hopefully they don’t return. Getting too political

Please let nothing break on LinkedIn next week when everyone’s off! Please let nothing break on LinkedInHelp next week when everyone’s off! Please let nothing break on LinkedInMktg next week when everyone’s off!

Poor babies. Unfortunately LinkedIn has become nothing more than a public forum for junior employees and brown nose with more snr people. And for leaders to brag about how wonderful their company’s are!

Way to go LinkedIn 👏 BTW this is socialism!

Awesome hopefully other companies can implement from this

👏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽🙌🏽 Wonderful work ethic!

This is a beginning in corporations seeing employees as fragile human beings that have breaking points when the pressure becomes unbearable. Let’s see if this resonates with other companies.

Easy to do these people don’t actually do anything lol!

Amazing. I wish more employers looked to alternatives for working schedules/accommodations for their employees. Good job LinkedIn

What a great idea ..

I so need that! Unfortunately, can't shut down my job for a week.

Based on the price they charge for a premium membership, they can afford to do it.

Hopefully the white employees will come back 'less white'.

Woke Privilege

The US gives 2 measly weeks vacation per year, versus 4-6 weeks in UK/Europe. It would be nice if other companies here decided to do the same. Let’s hope LinkedIn is starting trend.

Must be nice

This is fantastic to see. Not every company or organization can do this but most can do something. A day off? An extra bonus? Something tailored to the needs and demands of the industry but rewarding to each employee. It's doable and almost necessary. Be creative.

Burnt out from what exactly

Do we get a 1 week rebate?

Those who work in production settings are getting killed right now and specially those who need to help with Bidens stimulus plan! Overworked, no break, no leaves, thats a reality that most of America dont know about! Linkedin needs break? Reallly?

Awesome

What about the rest of America?

Brilliant! More companies should value the effect a move like this has on it's employee's wellbeing and morale. 🌻🌹🌾

4 day work week.

What’s vacation time for then?

How they spend their week off....

Must be nice 😪

That's awesome. But one week? Is that the ONLY week they get off in the year?

At least for one week I will stop getting annoying emails about taking online training from Linkedin..

Fantastic .

Burnout at LinkedIn?

had a double mind when i wanted to invest but i thank God 🙏 i have invested with the right account manager kellybrian_ i got my money back with profit just as he said, i want everyone to start investing with kellybrian_ he's the best trader.

Up here in 🇨🇦, we have vacation & vacationpay. You guys should look into it. Well, we also have employment standards but that might be too much for GOPLeader

I’m so jealous! I wish all companies would! We need something like Chinese New Year in America where we all shut down and focus on family without having to worry about work

Ci vuole ricaricare l l'energia soprattutto in questi due anni anomali

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about Blaketeddy56 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

What a fabulous idea...

Amazing!

They don’t normally get vacations or personal days like most companies?

Productivity will Soar !!!!!

Lol. Weak sauce.

One whole week? What a fucking joke.

Does this mean I don't get LinkedIn emails to join someone's network for a week? Starting to burn out on those...

Wow, I wonder what that’s like
