Wellbeing horizons: 21 insights for a thriving tomorrow at work
Powered by Next Generation Work (prof. Kathleen Vangronsvelt) and Sustainable Transformation competence centers (Kateryna Podkalenko), in cooperation with the University of Antwerp.
Vision:
The AMS Learning Network Wellbeing horizons will be a catalyst to empower people and organizations to navigate employee wellbeing by taking inspiration from disruptive best practices.
Abstract:
Employee well-being is vital for organizational success as it affects satisfaction, mood, performance, and the relationship between employees and the organization. Despite the growing number of interventions to enhance workplace well-being, many miss their mark, leading to a rise in employees leaving due to mental health issues. This underscores the need to assess existing interventions critically and prioritize evidence-based approaches to improve workplace well-being effectively.
During this learning network, based on the "Wellbeing Works" research, our aim is to comprehend the underlying mechanisms, identify necessary prerequisites, and emphasize the significance of various stakeholders in promoting workplace well-being.
In our exploration, we'll look beyond traditional organizational settings, drawing inspiration from examples like Blue Zones, Malmö's diversity approach, Khan Academy, and Portugal's drug policy,. These examples reflect major shifts in the work landscape too. As we navigate these transitions – addressing respectively longevity, mindful AI, addiction, and diversity - our goal is to illuminate workplace well-being. Join us in deciphering these challenges, extracting insights, and shaping a future where both individuals and workplaces thrive.
ESG IMPACT: how to navigate ESG complexity
Dr. Jan Beyne, prof. Wouter Van Bockhaeven and prof. Robin De Cock, in cooperation with the University of Antwerp
Vision:
The AMS Learning Network ESG IMPACT will be a leading catalyst to inspire and empower people and organizations to navigate ESG complexity.
Abstract:
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations are becoming increasingly vital in the corporate world today. A strong ESG proposition can drive value creation in various ways: attracting more customers, cost reductions, productivity uplift, and investment and asset optimization. It therefore makes a lot of sense for companies to invest in a more sustainable operating model.
A lot has been written and launched about ESG, related to the EU Green Deal, the EU Taxonomy, and the CSRD with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards. Together with the AMS partners, we felt that what was missing was a learning network, to inspire each other, and co-create a roadmap to achieve an integrated sustainable business strategy.
Circular strategies towards net positive
