Are you on the right side of hustle?
We’re waging a war on toxic hustle culture. Behind the scenes it can lead to stress, burnout, unproductivity – and a very real cost to UK businesses. So, we want to help you to identify those red flags – before they become harmful habits.
Answer some simple questions to see if you’re on the right side of the hustle – and create your personalised healthy hustle plan, in partnership with Mastercard’s Strive UK programme.
