Since the outbreak of the pandemic, mental health and well-being has plunged.

But today, major gaps and concerns remain, as the working world accelerates through this recovery phase, working hours get longer and working work remote options mean you’re never far away from your inbox.

So, how do we overcome this mental health morass and design more inclusive, wellbeing-oriented working environments?
