Testimonial

President and CEO, Desjardins Group

The physical and mental health of our society is directly connected to the vitality of our communities. For employers and their employees, the last few years have focused on adapting, innovating, and being resilient. But we need to constantly evaluate our mental wellbeing and ensure we are supporting Canadians. We are proud to partner with The Conference Board of Canada in establishing this new research centre to gain valuable insights that can help build better solutions in the workplace.
