Located in the heart of European power, Brussels often grapples with toxic work cultures and leadership styles that compromise respect, integrity and the mental health of those working here.
The issue
A Better Brussels seeks to break this norm by raising awareness, centralising resources such as workshops and leadership training, creating space for open discussions, and self-help for those perpetuating these dynamics.
By partnering with different actors in Brussels policy making space, we aim to help those affected, seeing if we can make Brussels workplace cultures less toxic in a way that every professional feels respected and empowered.
We’re obsessed with getting you the help you need.
