Most organizations agree that coaching is important, but they do virtually nothing to make employees more receptive to coaching.

Niet om te besparen Volgens De Block gaat het in eerste ­instantie niet om een besparingsmaatregel. De nieuwe richtlijnen zijn ­volgens haar vooral ‘een hulpmiddel’. ‘Huisartsen kunnen niet v...

Hierbij word je betaald als je bekenden aan een bepaalde job helpt”, klinkt het. “Maar wij voorzien nog twee andere vormen. Er is de externe referral, waarbij je wordt betaald wanneer een onbekende dankzij jou, gewoon door de jobadvertentie zelf ergens te delen, een jobvoorstel accepteert.” Daarenboven biedt Accent ook ruimte voor een derde vorm: de autoreferral. “...
