New campaign – Old Hollywood, new boundariesWe’re doing things differently. With our new campaign, we’re making a powerful statement against boundary-crossing behavior. Not vague posters with empty messages, but images that confront, provoke, and start conversations. We use the aesthetics of old Hollywood: classic pulp posters, recognizable archetypes, iconic looks. But the roles are reversed. The characters take the floor – and the weapon – in their own hands. Not to shock for the sake of shocking, but to show how absurd it is that unwanted behavior is still normalized today. This campaign is a form of proactive prevention. It focuses not on the victim, but on the behavior. It calls it out, names it, and flips the power dynamics. The exaggeration and humor are deliberate choices: not to trivialize, but to reflect. Because sometimes exaggeration is the only way to make visible what otherwise remains silent. What does this campaign aim to achieve?Awareness. Conversation. Change of norms. We want you to be startled. To laugh. To feel uncomfortable. And above all: to talk about it. At the coffee table. In team meetings. On the work floor. Because true social safety doesn’t start with an incident – it starts with clear boundaries.Read more >
Setting boundaries – not a wall, but an invitationSometimes you feel it right away. Something’s off. Someone says something, touches you, makes a joke – and you get a knot in your stomach. You think, “I actually don’t want this.” But saying what you think? That’s often easier said than done.Read more >

The grey area – where boundaries blur“That’s not what I meant at all!” “Come on, you should be able to take a joke.” “You’re overreacting, it wasn’t that bad, was it?” Phrases like these often come up in conversations about workplace behavior. They point to something we all encounter but find hard to define: the grey area.Read more >
DEIB – More than just letters in a rowYou see them popping up more and more in mission statements, job descriptions, and LinkedIn profiles: the four letters DEIB. But what do they really mean, and why should organizations not just talk about them, but actively work on them?Read more >
When is behavior truly crossing the line?In discussions about safe work environments, social safety, and integrity, terms often fly around: unwanted behavior, crossing the line, microaggressions, intimidation… But where exactly is the line drawn? And perhaps even more importantly: who decides where that line lies?Read more >
The hidden costs of doing nothingThere is something strange going on in working Netherlands. We build organizations with policies, visions, annual plans, and strategies — but when it comes to social and psychological safety, we remain strikingly silent until it’s too late. This is not due to a lack of knowledge. We know what unsafe behavior costs: – €1.7 billion per year in absenteeism. – A 7% drop in stock value following a scandal. – One in three employees leaving an unsafe culture.Read more >
Boundary-crossing behavior – visible, invisible, but always harmfulBoundary-crossing behavior is a topic that increasingly comes up in conversations about workplace culture. And rightly so. Because if we want people to feel safe and respected at work, we must also face what stands in the way of that. Boundary-crossing behavior takes many forms, some clear and recognizable. Others are subtle but just as harmful. In this column, we reflect on the five main types of psychosocial workload (PSA) and on the forms that often fly under the radar.Read more >
