New Ways of Promoting Performance
We develop and research well-being at work and leadership in a changing working life. New ways of working, leadership, work performance and nature as part of promoting well-being at work are at the heart of our work.
Topics
- Exploring new forms of work and working environments and their impact on well-being. Our roots lie in developing and researching new forms of work and related methods for promoting well-being at work.
- Promoting employability in a changing working life. We act as an expert and development partner for interventions to promote the work capacity of staff.
- Nature-based and sustainable solutions for well-being at work.
The ways and tools of working are constantly changing, and more and more work is done regardless of time and place. This challenges individuals, teams, communities and larger organizations alike. As researchers, developers and service providers, we are part of this change.
