Supporting the Flexible Worker
Date Thursday, Dec 1 Time – RoomTegel
As alternative employment arrangements rise and work spaces become ever more global and flexible, how can L&D align work and learning, engage the flexible worker and offer support to the needs and wellbeing of today’s workforce where-ever they are? Join for a dialogue on how we can adapt what we do, so that they can do even better what they do.

Improving Employee Well-being by Applying Co-creation and Blended Learning Principles
Work experience has always been a mix of psychology and IT, I like working in the area where these two interact. After graduating I lived and worked in the UK for 5 years. In addition to that I've also worked on long-term projects in Ireland (Dublin), the US, as well as instructional/curriculum design & facilitating workshops and (classroom) training all over Europe, the US, and India.
Projects included: evaluating e-learning on usability, introducing e-learning in an IT software & consultancy firm, introducing e-learning in an industrial area, designing/developing/project management of e-learning courses, and LMS system administration. Most of the time on a low budget, which means coming up with creative solutions.
Educational Background
Masters degree in Cognitive Science (Radboud University Nijmegen) with a Psychology base. Langevin certified instructional designer. Certified PCM Trainer. Certified in OPQ Assessments.
Personal Background
47 years old, married, 2 cats, member of the board at the Dutch Dance Sports Federation, NADB (responsible for IT and Communication) after having competed myself at the highest level until May 2016.
