AMWF – Technology & Wellbeing
Technology helps with speed and efficiency but it can also create increased stress and information overload. Our first national AMWF event for 2024 covered the extremely timely topic of Technology and its connection to mental wellbeing. Watch this webinar to hear advice from our panel of practitioners and HR experts on making the most of technology without becoming a slave to it.
