Een speels antwoord op de crisis

For many people, the experience of daily work has changed a lot during the COVID-19 crisis. Suddenly, people found themselves sitting at home and interacting mainly online.

In this article, the authors explain how the innovative approach of Playful Work Design helps employees stay energetic and enthusiastic, even if the work they are doing is temporarily less appealing.
