Research

  • I am the project leader of the evaluation and research project Future Work
    [1] – in which we follow the transition toward more flexible work for the
    professional service at KI. Furthermore, I research sick leave and
    return to work for (young) employees with experiences of common mental
    disorders (CMD) in two different research projects:

    *A gender perspective on sick leave among youth: obstacles and resources for
    return-to-work as experienced by employees and managers (GUNGA) [2]

    *A problem-solving intervention to enhance return to work among people on
    sick leave due to common mental disorders: Psychosocial factors and balance
    in everyday life/[3]
