We're all up and running in the new academic year and this fall will bring us new opportunities and challenges in the workplace. But do take the time for yourself, your work and pause and also this newsletter to be fully up to date. Nothing to be rushed, don't act like Bart and rather drive at 90 km/h were you could drive at 120 km/h.

The hybrid GE37 workplace
|
|
The COVID pandemic forced us to work (together) in new and different ways. ON and OFF campusn ON- and OFFline. The good practices we want to secure in our group, however a flexible working environment is not possible without a flexible office space. We're going full flex, back to fully fixed or somewhere in between? What about break-out rooms, small meeting or relaxation areas and other catchy concepts?
We want to tackle these issues in an ambitious project that will result in a enjoyable workplace for everyone. If you like to cooperate in this working group, let Thibault know by October 19.
