Brain Moving: The Psychology of Workplace Change

Organizational psychologist and BrainMove founder Anton Maes explores how workplace environments impact productivity, wellbeing, and organizational culture, particularly in the shift to hybrid working models. Anton reveals practical strategies to manage change, engage teams, and create productive workplaces that balance business needs with human psychology.

• The psychology of resistance to change and why people experience change as uncomfortable
• Balancing productivity objectives with employee wellbeing needs
• Why face-to-face interaction remains critical for knowledge sharing and team building
• The limitations of using solely physical environments to attract employees
• Creating effective activity-based workspaces that support different work processes
• How leadership practices need to adapt to hybrid working models
• Practical approaches to bring teams back together while maintaining flexibility
• The four key elements for successful hybrid working: environment, structure, knowledge exchange, and leadership
• Why leadership communities are becoming increasingly important
• How disruption can be positive for organizational growth when managed well
