Taboos in the workplace

Taboos in the workplace

Taboos are of all times. They are accompanied by a range of emotions, such as shame and pain. Yet sometimes they suddenly come to the forefront or are broken when people decide to do speak out. Numerous taboos exist in the workplace as well, such as the #Metoo issue and the stories surrounding toxic leadership.

Such silence is also prevalent in the workplace. For example, 31% do not speak out on some sensitive topics and 36% will not share everything that is on their mind.

In this white paper, we delve deeper into the themes of this silence.

The workplace as the best learning environment. Also for blue-collar workers?

A lifetime of learning: while this is considered second nature for knowledge workers, it is less obvious for blue-collar workers. At least, that's often assumed. But is this really the case? And if so, does it only apply to craftsmanship, or is a lifelong learning path also possible in terms of soft skills?

What makes an absenteeism intervention work?

What makes an absenteeism intervention work?

Lack of empirically supported interventions for well-being and absenteeism in the workplace.

The whitepaper addresses the following two research questions:
1. When is a return-to-work considered successful, and what can we learn from this for the prevention of absenteeism in general?
2. What can a manager do to reduce absenteeism and ensure the health and well-being of employees?

In collaboration with partners bpost, Mensura, and B-Tonic (a subsidiary of Baloise)

Employee silence: why and what are we silent about at work?

Employee silence: why and what are we silent about at work?

The theme of 'employee participation' is more topical today than ever in management discourse. Organizations are becoming flatter, hierarchical bureaucracies are being phased out, leadership is being more 'shared' and included outside the hierarchy. This also creates expectations towards employees: they need to make their voices heard more and more. Employee participation is thus no longer something purely 'desired', but rather something that is 'required' (Knoll et al., 2016).

In this white paper (in Dutch) we outline the results and analysis, based on a survey of 1598 employees.

Impact COVID-19 on human capital in organizations

Impact COVID-19 on human capital in organizations

In April 2020, in the midst of a coronary crisis, we launched a survey with organizations on the impact of COVID-19 on their human capital. Nothing led us to believe that, more than a year and 5 surveys later, we would still be researching the impact of the pandemic on work and careers - not only among employers, but also among employees. In this research report, you can read more about our main findings. (in Dutch)

LiZeT: Getting started with sustainable careers in self-organizing teams

The team we work with is a decisive factor in how we experience our jobs. Therefore, your team is an essential key to a sustainable career. Yet, until now, this has remained underexposed as a context for career development, both in the academic literature and in the career policies of organizations. With this ESF "Innovation through Exploration" project we wanted to explore this further. We developed the LiZeT toolkit with the aim of actively engaging team members in their career development. More specifically, LiZeT helps teams to learn to organize themselves (in Dutch).
