WORKING 101
The ABW 101 Training (also called Activity Based Working for Dummies) is the essential introduction to understanding what Activity Based Working is — and isn’t. Discover how to make conscious choices about where, when and with whom you work, and how your environment supports you.
Ready to take control of your way of working — instead of the other way around?
What’s the problem?
Many organizations want to implement Activity Based Working but get stuck in misunderstandings or old patterns. Employees often equate ABW with open offices or hotdesking, or resist the idea of losing a fixed desk. At the same time, they lack the knowledge and skills to really make ABW work.
At Veldhoen+Company — the founders of ABW — we combine over 30 years of experience into this practical, interactive training.
The Challenge
Organizations invest heavily in new environments but forget to bring their people along. Without understanding and practice, old patterns persist: desks are claimed, spaces misused, structure and connection lost. ABW is then seen as “difficult” or “free-for-all” instead of a powerful way of working.
The Goal
With ABW 101, employees learn: what ABW really is — and isn’t; its benefits and challenges for individuals, teams and organizations; how to make conscious choices about where, when and with whom to work; how to set new team agreements on collaboration and availability. The training blends theory, reflection, practical exercises and inspiration videos to ensure immediate application. Output: dashboards, heatmaps, personas, and an Action Playbook with policy and design priorities. The result: fit-for-purpose workplaces, better collaboration, and higher satisfaction.
ABW 101 turns theory into practice — giving people control, energy and ownership over their work.
