It can be used as a catalyst for discussion in content appealing for the importance of mental healthcare, internal materials promoting work style reform, and guides for career counseling services. This free illustration is a highly message-driven free material that gives viewers an opportunity to think about modern labor issues. Commercial use is also possible.
