The world of work has been disrupted in ways I've never seen. We're working many more hours (we've lost an entire week of vacation time since 2000), we feel overwhelmed (40% of US workers believe their work is "highly stressful"), and more and more people are taking on gig-work and alternative work arrangements.

While drilling down on which employees need more and varied types of support, they can also tailor actions that create widely shared feelings of well-being and cohesion across the workforce.
