Some 150 workers employed in a multinational that has its Argentine headquarters in the Mendoza town of Godoy Cruz will have the first Friday of each month off “as a measure to promote the well-being and mental health of its workers around the world,” they indicated from the company.
“The company took this measure to improve the quality of life of its global technological platform for event management and ticket purchase, imposing the first Friday of each month free”, they pointed out from the Eventbrite firm.
The “BriteBreak Friday” -as the company calls this social benefit- provides each employee time to disconnect from the routine and recharge energy: this measure is added to the benefits that the platform offers its workers to improve their quality of life and enhance their work-family balance.
“It is very important since the month begins with a different mentality. You know that yes or yes you are going to have a long weekend to dedicate to things that during the week you may not have so much time. While the world around me continues with its routine, since it is a normal Friday for them, I know that my day will be relaxed and I will be able to dedicate that time to my well-being”, commented Vanesa Boulet, Eventbrite Talent Manager .
