Past HR Network Event
3 March 2021
Webinar summary:
For many organisations the Covid-19 pandemic has elevated employee health & wellbeing to the top of the Boardroom agenda. For many it has become a business continuity issue and for others it has exposed their vulnerability to high rates of ill-health and sickness absence. So, does this mean that wellbeing at work will remain a strategic priority after the pandemic (and, if so, what will this look like?), or will we return to piecemeal, under-resourced fruit & Pilates approaches?
