The Future of Work: Behavioral Health Insights for the Persistent Pandemic
The way we work and the concept of team has changed for many people as a result of the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As organizations navigate return to office strategies and newly-developed hybrid workplaces, behavioral health impacts must be considered to safeguard employee health, safety and productivity. In particular, the health of people managers – who play a significant and powerful role in successfully surviving these unprecedented times – shouldn’t be overlooked as organizations continue to be overwhelmed.
