Provider, WeWork, today on "World Mental Health Day", announced an
extended holiday break for its Indian employees which the Employees can avail
in the upcoming Diwali.

During this 10-day holiday, workers are urged to disconnect from
the office and enjoy the festival of lights with their loved ones. The business
stated that it gives its employees' mental health and wellbeing first priority.

WeWork stated that it prioritises work-life integration, flexibility,
and sharing holiday pleasure. The business claimed that its goal is to provide
staff members with a chance to take a break from their hectic schedules and renew
themselves by spending quality time with their loved ones over the holiday
season. The company informed that it had first initiated this programme in 2021
as part of their employee-first practices.

WeWork's Chief People and Culture Officer, Priti Shetty, stated
that "so far, 2022, has been a memorable year for us, as our
business has strengthened and surpassed all internal goals set for workers' and
members' experience. Our brand's success is a direct outcome of the effort our
co-workers put forward.

The 10-day vacation is an expression of appreciation for each
WeWork employee's entrepreneurial spirit. The need of taking a break to reset
and re-energize oneself led us to resolve to create the 10-day Diwali holiday
an annual tradition.

In addition to this prolonged break, WeWork India also offers
programmes like wellness leave, employee assistance programmes with access to
professional counselling, impact leave for volunteer work, workations,
inclusive medical insurance policies, a purpose-driven employee resource group
culture to support diversity, and a further education programme, among others.

Prior to that, the online retailer Meesho stated that its staff
would take an 11-day "reset and refresh" holiday from October 22 to
November 1. After the hectic holiday shopping season, the company said that
this groundbreaking programme will enable "Meeshoites to entirely unplug
from work and prioritise their mental well-being."
