Marina Heiden is professor in occupational health science at the University of Gävle. Her main research interest is how flexible work can be implemented to promote individual and organizational sustainability. This includes studies on how work can be designed to promote health and inclusion, and how it can contribute to organizational attractiveness. She is also involved in research on methods for assessing physical workload in working life.
CURRENT RESEARCH
- Flexible work: opportunity and challenge
- Flexible adaptation for sustainable innovation
- CAN-Work-S: Facilitating work participation among cancer survivors during their entire professional career
