Zscaler Work-Life Balance & Wellbeing

At Zscaler, we start with a simple belief: when people feel supported, they do their best work—and they live fuller lives outside of work, too. That’s why our approach to benefits and wellbeing is employee-centric. And because our workforce is diverse—across life stages, cultures, family structures, working styles, and personal needs—our benefits are built with flexibility and inclusivity in mind. To achieve this, we focus on:

• Choice and personalization so employees can use the resources that fit their needs and preferences.
• Accessibility so support is easier to find, easier to use, and available when it matters most.
• A culture of trust where employees feel safe to bring their full selves to work without fear of stigma.

To support employees’ mental health and wellbeing, Zscaler offers bereavement leave, sick time, and parental leave. These resources help employees navigate life’s hardest moments and biggest transitions without having to choose between personal responsibilities and professional commitments. We also provide an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a free and confidential counseling and advice service. In addition, Zscaler funds a premium subscription to Calm for all employees and their family members. This includes a comprehensive library of meditations, sleep stories, and music designed to help manage stress, support mental health, and build everyday resilience.

These resources are intended to support employees through both everyday stressors and life’s bigger moments—helping employees:

• Manage stress and prevent burnout
• Build healthy routines and boundaries
• Navigate personal or family challenges
• Strengthen resilience and coping skills
• Access professional support when needed

Benefits matter, but culture is what makes them real. At Zscaler, we strive to cultivate an environment where wellbeing is talked about openly, and support is proactive rather than reactive. We encourage leaders to model healthy behaviors, create space for honest conversations, and reinforce that asking for help is a sign of strength.

The needs of employees change—because life changes. At Zscaler, we continuously look at how we can improve the employee experience and evolve our benefits to better support mental health and wellbeing over time. Listening, learning, and iterating is part of staying employee-centric. Leadership reinforces this commitment by integrating wellbeing goals into our benefits strategy—so the support employees rely on isn’t static, but strengthened and refined as needs evolve.
