In this episode, André Bakker (CEO of Prevermo) and Frank van de Ven (CEO of i-team Global) discuss why workplace health deserves a broader place on the leadership agenda.

With absenteeism rising and mental health challenges becoming increasingly visible, André argues that organizations still approach the issue in fragmented ways. HR, prevention, leadership, workplace design and facility management often operate separately, while employee wellbeing depends on how these elements work together.

Frank expands on this perspective by highlighting the role of the physical environment. Clean, safe and healthy buildings are not just operational concerns. They directly influence wellbeing, performance and long-term organizational success.

The conversation also explores responsible business practices, the role of B Corp, and the opportunities and risks of AI. As technology continues to increase productivity, the question is no longer whether organizations can do more. The real question is who benefits from those gains.
