As Healthy Workplace Month begins, new research reveals that while burnout rates among Canadian workers have dropped since the pandemic, it remains a significant issue.

A recent RBC survey reveals that many Canadians are still vulnerable to cyber-attacks, despite being aware of best practices for online safety. The RBC Cyber Safety Index found that 38% of Canadians are at moderate to high risk of becoming victims of cyber-attacks due to unsafe online behaviours.
