Prof. dr. Pascale Peters

Sustainable HRM is the success factor in a rapidly changing knowledge-based society.

Prof. dr. Pascale Peters is Professor of Strategic Human Resource Management at Nyenrode Business University. She is part of Nyenrode's Faculty Research Center for Strategy, Organization & Leadership.

Peters: "I look at the changing employment relationship from an integral perspective in the light of a rapidly changing organizational environment. In this, I emphasize the importance of sustainable employability for the performance of people, organization and society as a whole, with attention to meaning, engagement, life-long-learning, health, flexibility and the work-life balance."

"I am proud to be able to consider, in a professional way and together with others, current and complex issues that affect people, organizations and society. Being able to provide new insights and sustainable solutions gives me motivation and satisfaction."

Her Strategic HRM Chair is in line with Nyenrode's mission to provide students, managers and professionals with up-to-date knowledge and skills through education and training. In this way, she helps them proactively shape effective and ethical HRM and leadership in order to achieve sustainable performance for people, organizations and society.
