IMA Belgium - Increasing well-being at your workplace : lessons from science

Pursuing well-being at work is like Alice in Wonderland meeting the Cheshire Cat: "If you don't know where your're going, any road will take you there.

Regularly asking yourself "What do I want to have accomplished by the end of your career?" will inevitably lead you to your inner compass - your (work)values. 

A successful leader is able to dedicate enough time to their core business: thingking about the future direction of the organization. This requires deep focus - and a disciplined, healthy approach to meetings. 

These three choices significantly boosted my well-being at work. There's one aspect of workplace well-being where we fall short compared to other areas: feedback. Too often, we rely on the sandwich method.

Stijn Baert is a Belgian economist, labor market specialist, and professor at both Ghent University and the University of Antwerp. This evening, he will explore workplace well-being from an economic and scientific perspective, showing us how each of us can contribute to fostering it.

The event is open to everyone—members and non-members alike—including assistants and professionals in all business roles who are interested in this important topic.
