Roos Wouters is an inspiring speaker, political scientist, and social entrepreneur with over 14 years of experience in guiding organizations, teams, and individuals towards a human-centered, future-proof way of working. As the founder of the Work Association, she gives a voice to modern workers and translates their needs into practical solutions for policy and practice.
Roos strongly believes in the power of technology — as long as it is used to support people, not to control them. In her lectures, she demonstrates how digitization, flexibility, and autonomy can go hand in hand, and how organizations can create a work environment that stimulates innovation and enhances well-being.
• The future of work: hybrid, flexible, and human-centered
• Technology & trust: digital tools as enhancers of autonomy
• The New Way of Working (post-COVID): balance between freedom, structure, and results
• Eliminating work stress: vitality, energy & ownership
• Leadership in change: focusing on output and humanity
• Emancipation & inclusivity: collaborating beyond old roles
Roos speaks with imagination, sharpness, and humor. She challenges, invites reflection, and initiates movement. As a regular voice in the lobby panel of BNR News Radio and author of works such as FUCK! I am a feminist, she is familiar with public debate, social change, and bridging interests. She works with policymakers, executives, HR professionals, and teams across all sectors. Her style is personal and disarming, focused on dialogue, with room for self-deprecation and confronting insights.
