2021 was a year of resilience. Leaders and employees globally had to assess, pivot, and establish new ways of working in order to survive in the shadow of Covid-19. Company leaders had to build stronger connections with their employees and peers, and promote greater support on a personal level, as wellbeing and mental health became more significant during this period of immense uncertainty.
