Very interesting and exceptionally educational workshop!
It prompted our employees to think abour theur lifestyle and job satisfaction; we’ve already had several engaging discussions about (small) improvements in our daily routines. We hope this leads to healthier and more vital colleagues and reduces absenteeism. Jeroen & Natasja, thank you for the inspiration!
