For a responsible business, it’s essential to consider employee wellbeing.  

This includes creating a workplace that considers employees’ mental health and skills development; and prioritises equity, diversity and gender equality across both physical and virtual work environments. 

The Covid-19 pandemic fundamentally changed how we work, accelerating remote and hybrid models while blurring the boundaries between professional and personal life. This shift has highlighted the importance of supporting employees holistically, addressing not only their productivity needs but also their mental health, work-life balance, and sense of purpose.
