Challenges

While hybrid work is increasingly common, its effects on well-being, performance and the environment have yet to be studied extensively. What is good for people’s mental health may be bad for the environment or the organisation’s performance and vice-versa.

UCLouvain’s contribution

At UCLouvain, Professors Sergio Altomonte, Hervé Jeanmart and Laurent Taskin have combined their expertise in architectural physics, energy and management. Together with their teams, they have combined longitudinal methodologies (surveys based on questionnaires, case studies, self-managed logbooks through a dedicated app, mobility and energy sensors) to assess the combined effects of hybrid work on the environment, organisations and individuals. This multidisciplinary approach makes it possible to identify sustainable hybrid working configurations.
