I wake up this morning listening to the news on television. I try to make this my only moment of the day in which I inform myself of the situation we are experiencing. I have realized that receiving messages every two by three on WhatsApp about the coronavirus and frequently watching news on ...
They are in times of tension and uncertainty, when it becomes especially important to have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in companies, such as the one we offer in Healthy Work.
