The company recently announced its Reset & Recharge Policy on LinkedIn

Meesho, India’s online marketplace for longtail products, has introduced a Reset & Recharge policy to prioritize employee well-being. As a people-centric workplace, Meesho has declared a companywide break from November 4 - 14 for employees to completely unplug from work — to rest and rejuvenate. 

The 10-day company-wide work break is an industry-first move by an Indian startup to prioritize employee well-being and mental health support.

The pandemic reflected the need to go back to the basics, be understanding and empathetic to each other. This holds true for companies as well. For Meesho, the well-being of its employees and their families have been its top priorities. Since the onset of the pandemic, Meesho has implemented multiple initiatives to ensure they have all the support they need. Some of this included a four-day work week in the month of May during the peak of the second-wave, a MeeCare reimbursement package to cover all expenses incurred during home quarantine and hospitalisation, setting up of a 5 crore corpus for Covid care financial support, vaccination drives for employees and dependents, among several other efforts. 

The company recently announced its Reset & Recharge Policy on LinkedIn. Many hailed the move and highlighted the need for the corporate world to normalize mental health support in India.
