Management Programmes in Human Resource Management

Vlerick expertise in Human Resource Management

1. Accident and illness: Belgians are too optimistic about their income

   Maternity leave, burn-out, an accident or serious illness are among the many potential causes of an extended absence from work. But what about the financial implications? And what role do employers play? In association with AG Insurance, Vlerick Business School recently conducted a survey into the way in which private sector employees and public sector contract workers assess the risk of losing their capacity to work. Professor Xavier Baeten questioned people about their experiences and personal expectations and the role they feel employers should play.

2. “A very stimulating collaboration”

   “By now, we know each other well and know what we can do together. However, we are also just grateful that we can continue our work in this way.” Hudson and Vlerick’s collaboration has already lasted nearly 20 years. Following their renewed Chair Partnership, we spoke to Xavier Baeten, Professor of Reward & Sustainability, and Dirk Buyens and Koen Dewettinck, both HRM Professors at Vlerick.
