We cordially invite you to our transdisciplinary keynote speech!
Prof Marianne van Woerkom will speak on the topic of ‘Positive Psychology Interventions for Employee Well-being and Development’ as part of the scientific network ‘Targeted Personality Development: Changing People in a Changing World’.
On the subject:
Psychological interventions (PPIs) in the workplace aim to improve the well-being of employees. However, their effectiveness is often low: PPIs appear to be beneficial but hardly change well-being. This could be due to the fact that it is difficult for employees to change their own well-being, and that PPIs in the work context are often used once and in isolation from other measures, while e.g. the work environment remains unchanged. In her presentation, Marianne van Woerkom will present a typology of PPIs in organizations and discuss how different types of PPIs can be usefully combined to increase their effectiveness. In particular, she will discuss strategies to improve the long-term and sustainable effectiveness of PPIs, drawing on insights from training transfer, nudging, behavior change and positive design.
Marianne van Woerkom is a professor of positive psychology in the context of Human Resource Studies at the Department of Human Resource Studies, Tilburg University, Netherlands. She is also a coordinator of the Master’s track on Positive Psychology and Well-being at Tilburg University. The well-being and development of workers are central themes in her research. Inspired by positive psychology, she is interested in how a strengths-based approach can stimulate individual and organizational flourishing.
