Work that is not doable

WHY

When guiding, teaching, etc., each of us is confronted with the feeling that the work is “impossible”. With this project group we looked for effective factors and tools that can transform work that cannot be done into work that can be done.

OUR PROCEDURE

The project group “Work that cannot be done…” has followed a path from “factors that make the work impossible to do…” to “factors that make the work bearable…”. We considered the factors that make our work impossible to do and how we can influence these factors ourselves. The next step was to bundle all the factors that make it work again and so we came up with 5 themes:

• Time use: time and attention management
• Culture
• What you have in your own hands
• Communication
• Physical health

GOAL

Through an annual program linked to these 5 themes, we want to reach all levels of our member organizations and give everyone the choice to follow tailor-made workshops. We want to inspire our colleagues to move away from "The work is impossible to do..." and also to empower them better. We want to achieve lasting impact and change through repetition, challenges, practical assignments, etc.
