A healthy work life with Susanne Scheibe
Show notes
One of the constants in human life is that we work. We spend most of our adulthood doing it, so what do we need to know to promote a healthy work life? Our guest, prof. dr. Susanne Scheibe, professor of Organizational Psychology at the University of Groningen, investigates how people change throughout their working years, focusing on emotional development and stress in daily life. In this episode, we discuss human-centered work design, myths about aging, and how rapid technological changes are reshaping work. This conversation offers a valuable perspective that we hope can lead to healthier, more productive people and organizations. We hope you enjoy the episode.
