'Our people need a break' | Hootsuite to launch company-wide 'Wellness Week'

A boss has shared details of a company-wide wellness week, which has been designed to give staff a break from professional duties, saying it will boost productivity in the long term.

In a LinkedIn post, Ryan Holmes, Chairman and Co-Founder at Hootsuite - a social media management platform - explained that the firm would shut down for a full week this summer to launch a company-wide wellness week.

He wrote: “We can’t run back to back marathons without burning out and our people need a break.

“We believe productivity goes up when you’re given the space to slow down.”
