The concept of well-being in the company has gained more and more importance in recent years, with many organizations recognizing the importance of a healthy and stimulating working environment to improve productivity and employee involvement.
In this context, training occupies a central role, acting as a catalyst for personal and professional development. Combining well-being and training in the company creates a synergy that promotes a positive working climate and encourages individual and collective development.
