With stress and burnout on the rise, more companies are looking for ways to help combat the impact of poor mental health with some much needed downtime.

Health insurer Sidecar Health has implemented a new benefit called “recharge days,” which will provide its 225 employees with a three-day weekend each month. The company decided to implement this policy in response to the increasing pressures and stressors employees have been under as a result of COVID-19.
