The pandemic has destabilized the way many employers and employees think about work. Frontline workers have encountered unprecedented challenges on the job. Knowledge professionals have struggled to establish boundaries between their home and work lives. Leaders of all types are wrestling to strike the right balance. Nearly every industry has seen increases in stress, anxiety and burnout. New business realities have created real challenges for organizations working to provide good jobs. But they also present opportunities for employers to fundamentally rethink what work is—and what it ought to be.

On June 14 The Globe and Mail hosted a webcast to bring HR professionals and other business leaders together to share strategies for employee mental health, happiness and engagement in the changed economy.
