A worthwhile change in healthcare
Many healthcare facilities are struggling with leadership. Amongst others, budget constraints are putting a lot of pressure on leaders. And in healthcare, there is also a need for new leadership, not the classic top-down leadership, but leadership that is authentic, values-based and shared. "A leadership that brings employees along with the many changes and that starts from a strong vision." The question is whether existing training programs are suitable for developing this new leadership. Dr. Sofie Rogiest researched the need for new leadership in the healthcare sector and discussed it in Care Guide.

4 key questions to unlock the value of digital transformation
How can organizations ensure they successfully handle digital transformation? Certainly not by wildly investing in every new technology that comes along.

Too few Belgian companies see the benefits of employees with a mental disability
For a year and a half, under the collective name of ID@Work (Intellectual Disability at Work), we at Antwerp Management School and HEC Liège conducted research into the inclusion of employees with a mental disability in the NEC. (Normal Economic Circuit) We visited 26 companies presently or formerly working with this type of employee, wrote a white paper on our observations, and questioned over 250 employers through a survey (www.inclusieophetwerk.be) on the topic.
Two researchers with a mental disability joined our team. If we had taken nothing but their qualifications into consideration, they would have never have gotten the job. However, their insight proved to be a vital and enriching part of the investigation, confirming that job matching is a crucial aspect of filling a vacancy.
