It would be an understatement to say that the devastating spread of COVID-19, and industry’s collective reaction thereto, has prompted a seismic shift in how corporations are intending to operate in the post-pandemic era.

Amid the large number of health, economic, political, and other macro-crises of late, organizational stress is at an all-time high. For many, stress has become so burdensome that it is more than just a personal issue that can be placated with a few “mental health” days out of the office. Workplaces have become overwhelmed by employees struggling with stress – whether driven by feelings of unease, anxiety, depression, frustration or  any number of unwanted emotions. Given the current level of demands, pressures and uncertainties, employees and businesses can be severely undermined over time.

The rapid advances of technology have changed how people live and the way businesses operate. The digital revolution has increased work productivity and efficiency in various industries, including health care.
