Since 1992, World Mental Health Day has been an important opportunity to raise awareness on the issue among workers and employers: an increasingly topical subject whose importance, even in the media, grows year after year as younger generations enter the world of work. “Mental health is a universal human right”. The theme chosen by the […]
Have you ever heard of “tech neck”? These two little words, which are being mentioned more and more often, denote all of the neck, head and back pain that stems from poor posture in front of both computer and smartphone. This syndrome is just one of the many sides of the (often) too sedentary lifestyle […]
When it is too hot, it’s harder to work: this is not just a popular idea, but a reality that has also been studied by science. When temperatures rise, our bodies react, affecting our ability to concentrate and perform physical and mental activities. In this article, we will explore how heat affects productivity in the […]

It’s therefore unnecessary to state how important it is for companies to take care of their employees […]
By now we are past the “back to the office” phase: some people have returned to the office on a permanent basis, some have chosen hybrid forms of work and some have decided to work exclusively from home.
