Workplace Pressures and its Impacts on Health

You’re Invited to the Health Leadership Academy’s Collaboratorium Talk

The Michael G. DeGroote Health Leadership Academy is proud to host a panel discussion on how leaders in the workplace experience and manage their stress levels. The discussion will elaborate on how this impacts their health and what role employers, employees and society have on improving the health and well-being of individuals and populations. Each researcher will draw on their expertise to explore both the emotional and economic implications leaders face in these environments.
