What:  Nike closed its corporate offices for one week so that staff could take time off to rest and recover.

Why it is important:  Senior management wants this to come as an acknowledgement that mental health prioritization is not counterproductive, but rather a way to let teams recharge.

Nike wanted to send a message that it is important to recognize the role mental health plays for workers and their well-being and that they should learn to focus on mental health in a preventative manner so they do not become ill.

Although the corporate teams received a week off, the retail stores remained open.
