For those of us who support organisations with behavioural change, we know how hard it can be and how long it can take. Yet here we are with extreme change imposed upon us (and for good reason!), but what impact might this be having upon our stress and wellbeing?

Every organisation is going through huge change, partly driven by the pace of technology, and partly by the need to stay ahead of the competition.
