E-learning for greater job satisfaction - Interview with Gidi Heynens

Online training comes in all shapes and sizes.

The quarter-life crisis. The struggles of being in your thirties. Decision paralysis. In a world where everything seems possible, making a choice is becoming increasingly difficult. We want to do something that makes us happy and provides a sense of fulfillment.

What is Bureau YOP?

Bureau YOP is a training and coaching agency focused on Young Professionals. We spoke with Gidi Heynens, co-owner.

Gidi’s journey

“Like many other recent graduates, I started a traineeship in the banking sector after my master’s degree. But what looked perfect on paper was, in reality, a huge mismatch.”

“Until I ended up in a personal leadership training course. The trainer asked: ‘Gidi, how are you really doing?’ At that point, I had no choice but to tell the truth.”

In 2014, Gidi and Rosalie founded Bureau YOP. “We connect talent development with organizational development. We believe that job satisfaction can and must be better.”

Bureau YOP & e-learning

“We noticed a need for more touchpoints and reference materials. That’s why we started looking into the possibilities of e-learning.”

“Pluvo stands head and shoulders above the competition. The ease of use is fantastic!”

“Within 30 minutes, I understood exactly how Pluvo works. Our students are very satisfied, too!”

Tips for more happiness (at work)

Tip 1: Forget that distant goal

Focus on the here and now.

“If you really want to be happy, you have to engage in personal development. Growth = happiness.”

Tip 2: Make choices

Dare to choose. Dare to fail. Sometimes you have to fall flat on your face to learn something new.

Tip 3: Spend less time on social media

Focus on your own world. The answers to your life's questions lie within yourself.
