Sustaining the Art of Living Well (Toward the New Normal)
|
What is the “New Normal”? Is it a process or an end point? When are we expecting to be in the new normal? Or will it now be a continuous path?
While navigating through the “current normal”, what are we observing in terms of the pandemic’s impact on people’s health and well-being, additional challenges for women, and what are the projections in the journey toward the new normal?
How will we transition to leaving our crisis mode and regaining equilibrium, when and where we interact physically at all levels as before?
How can organizations mitigate the risks on health and well-being of staff? What are the factors for consideration for an effective well-being design to be ahead of the game in the new normal agenda?
These are some of the questions that will be discussed by our panel of experts in this thought-provoking maiden webinar offering of the ADB Health & Wellness, Safety & Resilience (HWSR) Month 2021.
The ADB Chorale caps the event with their rendition of “Under Pressure”.
Be there when it happens!
