Dear {{ contact.FIRSTNAME }},

Good work is one of the cornerstones of a good life.
Work affects us in many different ways. The type of work we do, the hours, the conditions, the managers and team around us, the pay, the commute, and so on, all have an impact on our lives. In this issue we look at different types of work and ways of working, and in particular those types and aspects of work that will maximise well-being whilst creating the most care for nature.
