Advocating An Environment For Change: Mental Health At Work

The right to work is a universal human right and is enshrined as one of the fundamental principles of our Constitution, whereby all citizens are not only free to engage in work but also to freely pursue their desired employment or occupation.

With respect to this, the utilization of technology has changed work deliverables and deadlines, to say the least.
