    What health opportunities arise from back to office policies? Zoe Desousa, Founder of The Wellness Hub

    Zoe Desousa launched The Wellness Hub after experiencing burnout in corporate life. She aims to bring health options and information to busy individuals and one of the best places for convenience is the workplace. The Hub is made up of health and wellness specialists including a nutritionist, trauma specialist, acupuncturist, and more. As employers take the health of their employees more seriously, having The Wellness Hub visit workplaces means workers have an easy option to prioritise their health, when it's often the lowest on their to-do list.
