Holy Cross is committed to promoting work-life balance. See below for more information about the benefits of a day with limited meetings and more focus time.
Positive Impacts of a Meeting Free Day: Studies have shown that providing employees with a minimum of one meeting-free day per week will add to productivity and work life balance by:
- increasing communication, engagement, and productivity;
- decreasing stress; and
- supporting a positive work-life balance
Individuals have the flexibility to determine if a half-day or full-day free of meetings works best for their roles. Refer to the resources below to learn more about best practices for implementing a meeting free day.
