Enhancing Resilience & Well Being
Description
In our fast-paced, demanding workplace it is essential to maintain our health, focus and vitality. This has become increasingly challenging as stressors mount and change is ever-present. Today many people experience stress-related health and performance symptoms such as fatigue, inability to focus, irritability and poor health.
