LISTEN UP! 



In the latest sgENGAGE podcast, Meico Marquette Whitlock, founder of The Mindful Techie, shares tools and strategies on how to regain control and relieve the stressors that face us as the shift to remote work post-pandemic has caused many employees to feel stressed, burnt out, and out of control of their workplace dynamic.
