Ibec, the group that represents Irish business, is calling on businesses to get ready for the 9th National Workplace Wellbeing Day, taking place on Friday, April 28.
The only national day in the EU specifically dedicated by business to spotlight employees’ social, mental, and physical wellbeing, it is marked by companies across Ireland celebrating with a range of health and wellbeing activities in the workplace, with up to 1,000 companies participating annually.
