Godrej Properties has provided its employees a five-day complete break from office work including the upcoming weekend to allow its teams to “recuperate emotionally” in the backdrop of the ongoing pandemic.
The Godrej Group company is “taking a pause to heal” starting Wednesday until Monday, May 10 and has also informed customers and other stakeholders about the same.
“Ever since our employees started working remotely, we have rolled out mindful initiatives to ensure their general and mental well-being. The work from home burnout is real and the last thirteen months of Covid and the second wave have taken a toll on people; emotionally and mentally,” said Mohit Malhotra, MD and CEO, Godrej Properties. “As a company it is our responsibility to be with our employees and we understand that in tough times like these, everyone deserves a break.”
The company expects its employees to take this time off to rest, relax, heal and spend time with their loved ones at home.
This will be applicable to nearly 2,000 permanent employees of the company and around 600 contract employees working across all its locations in India.
