A burnout recovery guide for your employees

MENTAL HEALTH: As a corporate wellness and coaching company, Exos has an established history of helping people improve their performance. But the recent influx of stress and burnout in the workforce has meant they had to ensure an internal balance between work and time to recharge for their more than 3,000 employees.

Exos rolled out its own "recovery plan," which they then published online for any other company to use last spring. In addition to the implementation of a six-month four-day workweek pilot program, the plan includes access to a virtual professional coaching program for sustainable performance, an app that guides employees through midday breaks for mental and physical wellness, and a scheduling cutback on meetings and team-building workshops.?Check out the full offering and how it's helping employees rest and recover:

HR STRATEGIES: Dervilla Lannon , Verkada 's vice president of people, is known for implementing benefits at a rapid-fire speed.?In 2021, within minutes of recommending a new fertility benefit, Lannon got approval to roll it out company-wide.

For Lannon, the process is rather simple: listening to employees' needs, thinking of a game plan, and then simply walking down to the CEO's office and asking for approval.?Verkada shares her strategy as one of this year's Excellence in Benefits award winners:
