Before the virus, organisations were already under immense pressure, both in the public sector and with Brexit for the private sector, for example. Now, with the new complications that have come into effect, wellbeing and brain capability are diminishing at an alarming rate. People are moving from a state of hyperarousal, or being stressed and anxious, to hypoarousal, centred more around brain shutdown. It is vital that companies take full advantage of Wellbeing with Cari to deliver wellbeing initiatives that help people. Now is the time to target wellbeing, and tackle it in the right way, which is exactly what Wellbeing with Cari has done. Contact: Maria Paviour Website: www.cariwellbeing.co.uk
