Employers were not prepared for the sudden consumer-level debut of large language model (LLM) programs such as ChatGPT. As these types of products become increasingly popular, many corporations have opted for an outright ban on their use in the workplace.

Continuing the discussion on wellbeing, the team dives into what is financial wellbeing.

A significant number of Americans say they are living paycheck to paycheck. The team dives into what potential impacts can come from financial stress.
The team continues the discussion on Gallup’s five essential elements with the focus on physical wellbeing.
