MS WorkSmart

If you are employed and have MS, then MS WorkSmart is for you.

In MS WorkSmart you will hear from others living with MS who have overcome challenges in the workplace. Seeing what has worked successfully for them will give you an insight into possibilities for yourself.

MS WorkSmart is more than just an online learning platform. It’s an interactive space that gives you access to the latest research and allows you to learn from others living with MS.

We will give you tools that have been shown to help in the workplace and encourage you to apply what you learn to your daily life. This will put you in the driver’s seat to steer your journey towards living your best life.
