For decades, work has been organised around pressure and control—fueling stress and disengagement. Evidence shows this harms long-term productivity. The WISER early policy briefing is clear: humanising work it’s a strategic choice for sustainable firms. #wiser #wellbeing #workorganization

WISER highlights a new paper by Fengyu Wu & Jeff Nugent in @socialindicators.bsky.social Using WVS & Gallup World Poll data (2009–21), it shows that civic engagement-volunteering, donating, associations-can buffer well-being losses from health and marital challenges #wiser #wellbeingeconomy

Water insecurity, unsafe #WASH and #flooding harm health, well-being and livelihoods—especially in rapidly urbanising Nairobi. Our new WISER study shows how water (in)security shapes well-being and productivity across formal/informal settlements and highlights key #HRtWS gaps @utwente.bsky.social

New WISER report! Does economic growth make us greener and happier? Our study finds: rising income → fewer eco-friendly behaviours, and no boost in well-being. To build a sustainable future, policies must look beyond income alone. #WISER #Sustainability #Wellbeing #GreenTransition #BeyondGDP

🌍 Governments should prioritize well-being over economic growth. An article by Francesco Sarracino and @kelseyoc.bsky.social @statec-luxembourg.bsky.social - published in Nature Human Behaviour, makes a powerful case for rethinking the role of economic growth in policymaking. bit.ly/4hjGfzG

How do residents experience their cities? WISER researchers at @utwente.bsky.social used “go-along interviews” with residents to hear their stories. Accessibility it’s about listening, designing for everyone’s well-being. #UrbanDesign #Accessibility #Wellbeing #WISER

How does your neighbourhood shape your well-being? As part of the project WISER, we worked with residents in Twekkelerveld to explore how green & blue spaces and the built environment affect well-being and health. @utwente.bsky.social #WISER #HorizonEurope #UrbanWellbeing
