Twilions participate in a meeting-free week! #TwilioThinkWeek

What's this blog post about?

Twilio recently conducted a global "Think Week" initiative, where employees were given a week to focus on personal and professional goals without internal meetings. The idea germinated from recognizing that people are always "on" during virtual work, leading to burnout and lack of deep thinking time. During Think Week, Twilions could disconnect, reprioritize what's important, and work on their terms. Many employees appreciated the opportunity to reflect on challenges and opportunities, and some even reported feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The initiative is part of Twilio's focus on employee well-being and provides a break from the pressure of being "on" all the time.
