Globally we are experiencing a pandemic of workplace burnout. Just because physical disease is absent does not mean that mental wellbeing is present.
According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), resilience, stress tolerance, and flexibility are in the top ten most critical skills for 2021. In these challenging times, we must possess the right competencies and skills to adapt to new and unforeseen realities successfully.
