Other companies are trying to help people reset the goals, saying that not everything needs to be done right now.
voice-verified
It's important to prioritize and figure out what must be done versus everything that you might want to do in the pandemic.
voice-verified
And then you also see a number of managers really trying to step in and, for example, set office hours.
voice-verified
At Slack, for example, a number of teams have kind of
voice-verified
almost their version of college office hours where teams might meet and talk with each other during a specific period of the day.

voice-verified
companies realize that that's not good for anyone.
voice-verified
And so to be able to get the best from employees, they need to set better parameters that feel more sustainable.
voice-verified
And so you see some companies now rolling out entire days off, mental health days that just let people step back.
voice-verified
The German tech company SAP, for example, is doing this in April.
