Nike giving workers the week off

Can we normalize companies giving their employees a week's worth of paid Well-Being Days off? Be like Nike and "Just do it" ?? #mentalhealthmatters #preventburnout

Nike Wellness Week is in full swing!! While trying to stay off my phone, it’s a lot more exciting scrolling LinkedIn once a day and seeing all my amazing coworkers “unplugging” and traveling, relaxing, and being able to enjoy some quality fun time in the summer than it is thinking I need to clean my Outlook inbox out once a day. I’m grateful that the push is for a cultural shift in making our personal lives and mental wellness the priority, and not just giving us 5 extra days of PTO. So here’s to 4 more days of me and my wife eating way to much pizza, pasta, and gelato! #wellness #nike #wellnessweek #italy #mentalhealthmatters

Stop working... Just Do It. Nike employees are having a "Well-Being Week," a perk that started during the pandemic. It's a week away without needing to use PTO. Did you know Nike is a sponsor of 16,000+ athletes and sports organizations? Nike athletes train for hours every day, push their bodies and minds to the limit, and represent the company in competitions all over the world. Why don't they participate in "Well-Being Week?" With #mentalhealth driving the sports conversation lately, It seems like a missed opportunity to not encourage #athlete participation this week. #LinkedInSports ?? Ezra Shaw/Getty Images

Nike is OUT OF OFFICE! That’s right, this whole week all of our global corporate offices and manufacturing sites will be closed and our retail and distribution center teammates will get a week’s worth of paid well-being holidays of their choice. I’ve officially hit my 6-month mark at Nike and continue to be impressed and wildly appreciative of my experience thus far. I reflect back to how great it was to be together with our entire global DEI team a few weeks back at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton to set the stage for what will be an incredible DEI journey together! I can’t wait to come back to work but first taking full advantage of #WellBeingWeek by spending a few days at a wellness retreat to reset and re-center and then enjoying my son’s first official week in 1st grade at his new school and be FULLY PRESENT! My work phone, Slack, email and anything related to work is completely shut down and powered off to FULLY DISCONNECT. Thank you Nike for prioritizing everyone’s well-being. #SwooshLife #WellBeing #Wellness

Nike is closing its global offices this week to promote mental health awareness. ?? During this "Well-Being Week,” Nike will also give its retail and distribution center employees a week’s worth of paid mental health days that they can take in the coming months, allowing them to prioritize their overall well-being. This is an amazing step forward and I hope every company continues to help influence the conversation around mental health for the better. ??

I drafted different posts for 20 minutes today and deleted all of them. Nothing really was good enough. So, instead of posting something wise about mentorship or about my podcast, I just do this. Today is the first day of wellness week at Nike. A 5-day corporate holiday worldwide where all offices are closed. And this is exactly what I will do today. Not overthink, force something or try hard to achieve something. Just to let go, enjoy and take good care of myself. And - by the way - this post was done in less than 2 minutes. Take good care of yourself! #mentalhealth #wellbeing #wellness #nike

This week is well-being week at Nike. Our global offices are closed for a week and the team gets to unplug. Time for sunshine, parks and bagels! ??
