Google offers a rare and compassionate policy: if an employee passes away, their spouse continues to receive half of their salary for 10 years, and their children receive monthly support until they turn 19.

This approach acknowledges that financial stability during grief can make a profound difference for families facing loss. It’s an example of how companies can extend care beyond the workplace, recognizing the human side of their employees’ lives.

Such policies remind us that well-being is not just about individual health, but also the security and support we can provide to our loved ones. If more workplaces adopted this kind of approach, how different would our work culture be? 🏢💼

Did you know that walking for an hour can do wonders for your body? After just a few minutes, you’ll notice your blood flow improving and your energy levels rising. Over time, walking regularly boosts your mood, improves circulation, and even helps regulate blood pressure.

You don’t need to run a marathon to see benefits. Just a simple walk can lower stress and enhance overall health.

Start with a brisk 10-minute walk and increase as you go. Feel free to share your walking goals or favorite walking routes with the community! 🚶‍♀️🌟
