System failure: when hard work no longer works

The cliché goes , "young people just don't want to work anymore." But what if this is a symptom, not the cause? During this ADM Next event, we'll look beyond the prejudices and zoom in on what's really going on with burnout, bore-out, and silent absences, across all generations, not just young people. We'll start from a clear premise: mental exhaustion often arises when needs are under pressure.

Hans Chabert challenges you, as a business leader, to rethink energy, performance, and burnout in organizations . You'll gain clear insights into why the current system is failing and concrete tools to structurally embed energy management, vitality, and purpose in leadership and culture. Not as a delay in ambition, but as a smart system upgrade toward sustainable success (Smart Aging).

Ella Haemers will then translate these insights into daily practice. You'll gain a clear and applicable framework for a generation-conscious and life-phase-oriented HR and well-being policy. With concrete tools, you'll learn to recognize signs of stress and mental health issues, break the taboo surrounding mental health, and structurally embed well-being within your organization. From prevention to reintegration: from dialogue to action, with the goal of preventing absenteeism and strengthening sustainable employability.
