BREAKWEEK Impact Summary: Exploring the power of collective rest

R&R: The Rest of our Lives is a future-of-work nonprofit dedicated to fostering thriving work environments. In a new Impact Summary, R&R shares key findings and lessons learned from its BREAKWEEK grant pilot, a synchronous one-week break for organizations to disconnect from work to rest and recharge.

Key Data from the Survey:

• 99% of participants had a positive or very positive experience
• 92% reported reduced stress or burnout
• 91% want BREAKWEEK to return next year
• 71% said their productivity improved after returning to work

Qualitative stories behind these numbers:

I finally slept. For real. For the first time in months.
I came back with clarity and more creative ideas than I’ve had in a while.
Knowing everyone was off made it easier to truly disconnect — no guilt, no fear of missing out.
