Why Meaning Makes the Difference Between Getting By and Thriving
By Leontien Dekker, Life Counselor and Director of iMindlife The quiet emptiness behind your to-do list. You probably know the feeling—those days when you come home and think, this was worth it. Not because you ticked off a lot of tasks but because you contributed to something. Because you were fully engaged—heart and soul—with yourself, your work, and others. Days like that stay with you. But more often than we’d like, we work on autopilot. It’s helpful as a backup but unsustainable as a default setting.

When Was the Last Time You Felt Truly Proud of Your Team?
By Bas Tomassen, Executive Chair at Zorg van de Zaak Netwerk When I recently asked fellow leaders when they were last genuinely proud of their team, there was silence. Not because there are no moments of pride but because we rarely pause to reflect on them. That silence speaks volumes. Work satisfaction, performance, and mental health are all deeply connected to one thing: connection—the extent to which we feel seen, valued, and part of something larger.

Growth Requires Stillness in Motion
By Rita Zijlstra, Clinical Neuropsychologist and Care Executive at Zorg van de Zaak Netwerk Every day, I see how much we ask of employees: focus, flexibility, engagement. We expect them to think critically—about themselves, their work, and their colleagues. But how often do we turn that question around? What do employees actually get in return? Is there space to pause, learn, and grow—or are we only focused on performance? Work is more than just delivering results. It’s also about growing, choosing what matters, and fulfilling yourself. Self-fulfillment—the feeling that you matter, are working toward something, and are making a meaningful contribution—isn’t a luxury. It’s essential. Only when you feel that your contribution matters can sustainable mental health take root.

What if your job isn’t the problem, but how you treat yourself is?
This week is European Mental Health Week—a moment to reflect on how we’re really doing. We often talk about stress, workload, or resilience, but rarely about what literally lies beneath all that: our bodies. Yet body and mind are inseparably connected.

You have to do it, but you don’t have to do it alone
By Helen van Empel, Director of Yet You know the feeling. You’re sitting behind your laptop, coffee in hand, and your plan is sharp. You know exactly what needs to be done. And yet, it doesn’t happen. Not because you’re lazy. Not because you’re incapable. But because something is off—something you can’t quite put your finger on. We often talk about mental health in terms of “disorders,” burnout, or crises—things you either have or don’t have. But in doing so, we risk missing the small, “ordinary” signals. You withdraw a bit. You get tired more easily. You notice that things affect you more than usual—or far less. And all the while, you keep going.

Do you currently know which themes in your teams contribute to burnout? Or are you still mostly relying on intuition?
Next week marks European Mental Health Week—a great opportunity not just to talk about mental health but to truly examine how work affects it daily and how we can better organize around it.
