Kennedys have announced that they will be giving employees an annual ‘wellbeing day’ as part of a series of initiatives encouraging them to look after their mental health.
People can take their day’s leave at any point and can also now carry over up to six days of their holiday allowance to use throughout the following year.
Previously, this was limited to five days which had to be taken before the end of April – traditionally one of the busiest periods for law firms – and many were missing out.
The increased flexibility – coupled with events such as online art and yoga classes, and a series of webinars on everything from healthy eating to managing your finances – aim to recognise the pressures of the last 18 months and help keep the firm’s 2,300 colleagues connected.
