In the framework of EFPA’s contribution to the H-WORK EU project*, the article below is recommended.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives. Long work commutes, the office cubicle, and gossip by the coffee machine have been replaced by a home office where work is intertwined with our daily lives. This is a challenging situation for many and can lead to impaired well-being. To help workers develop skills needed to navigate this trying period, TU/e researcher Evangelia Demerouti has developed an online training program, which is available for all to use for free until July 2021. And initial tests show that workers who followed the training were happier, more motivated, and performed better in the home office.

The United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030) is an opportunity to bring together governments, civil society, international agencies, professionals, academia, the media, and the private sector for ten years of concerted, catalytic and collaborative action to improve the lives of older people, their families, and the communities in which they live.
