Well-being at work is a crucial part of organizational strategy: it boosts productivity, engagement, innovation, and reduces absenteeism. This Master Class will take you through the research on the essential elements of well-being at work and help you translate them to your work environment.
During this Master Class we offer practical insights based on academic research. We unravel the essence of well-being at work by examining its evidence-based building blocks: What drives the individual? How can the work environment facilitate or block this energy? We also zoom in on psychological safety and conclude with a look at current and evolving research areas.
