Expert: Consumers focus on bouncing back from pandemic

After a year of unprecedented challenges, consumers are starting to shift their attention to recovery with a continued emphasis on health and well-being, writes Laurie Demeritt, CEO of The Hartman Group. The group’s Health & Wellness: Reimagining Well-being Amid COVID-19 report examines how the pandemic and emerging environmental and social issues have reshaped “the threads connecting certain dimensions of health and wellness — in particular, links between body and mind as well as personal and community health,” Demeritt writes.
