Measuring Mental Health in our Virtual Workplace using AI

Traditionally, the corporate office space was built to suit a 9-5 workday from Monday to Friday. However, the new generation and the global pandemic has forced the corporate office to change overnight. During this webinar, we will explore the history and evolution of the office, current technology deployed to help, and organizational, cultural, and personal factors that define the make up of the future workplace.

We will discuss four core principles (flexibility, safety, security, and value) that will serve as the foundation for a platform for the future workplace.
