(WXYZ) — How do we create workplaces that support mental well-being? It's a big question that will be the topic of an upcoming virtual discussion hosted by Purpose Jobs, a local company that empowers people to find jobs they will love.
According to 2016 research from Eastern Kentucky University, workplace stress was costing U.S. employers $300 billion a year, and that was before the pandemic.
The free panel discussion is scheduled to be held on May 25 at 5 p.m.
