The pandemic has led to a discussion about increasing flexibility in working times and places of work, as well as strengthening mental health. The demand for ‘purpose’ and a shift in values between generations have led to the rise of New Work, which involves empowerment, personal responsibility, self-organisation, collaborative forms of work, sustainability, flat hierarchies, project structures, resilience, and employee engagement. Digitalisation, Decarbonisation, Diversity and Demography need to be managed simultaneously with a demand for more holistic approaches. Organisations around the world need to find new ways to design the future of work, and managers play a decisive role in shaping employee attitudes and mindsets.

By the end of the workshop, you will:

understand the core aspects to design good working conditions and working relations as the base of resilient organisation and apply this to your own organisational context;
be better equipped to explain how things work to your leaders and staff members as part of your own New Work Design;
be able to use the well- being concept to strengthen mental health in the workplace and avoid absenteeism.
