The pandemic and post-pandemic era is a very new environment for many people—including managers. The isolation caused by work-at-home has spawned many mental care crises—even for managers. Many people live alone. Many people have small social circles of friends and relatives to serve as a social support network. As a result, many managers must find ways to ensure their own well-being as well as promote and encourage that of their workers. That is the focus of this session. Well-being for managers begins with awareness of the need to recognize what is necessary to keep oneself healthy, happy, and feeling good. It means doing one’s best to recognize depression and find ways to keep one’s body, mind, and spirit healthy and vibrant. This webinar focuses on how to do that.
