Moreover, companies investing in resilience program report benefits including reduced stress, improved work satisfaction and increased productivity.
During the course of her residency, Dr Swart will also be giving a series of talks, holding one-to-one taster sessions with some of the hotels most highly valued VIP guests, offering specific advice on how to minimise the disruptive effects of travel.
