Social safety is one of the main needs for humans to feel secure in a group of collegues or even a group of sporty friends. Also your own family represents a social group in which one needs to feel safe. It costs companies around the world billions of euro\u2019s to pay for the reintegration of employees who become ill due to a lack of social safety. It is the main task of leaders and managers to provide such an environment. But that is easier said than done of course. Or isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
Through his lectures Daniel Seesink takes his audience back to the behavioral basics via the recognisable habits that the great apes show us. Based on sociobiology he shows how alpha males and silverbacks organise and lead their families. The grooming they do forms an interesting metaphor for how people can meet the need for social contact. Of course Seesink will translate the grooming of apes to achieving a social safe culture in your company.<\/p>\n
Daniel Seesink observes the behavior of not only apes, but also of people. Especially when they are not aware they are being watched by him and his camera. The photographs that Daniel takes are being used to literally hold a mirror in front of the attendants in which they see themselves like never before.<\/p>\n
In the first five years of his career Daniel Seesink worked as a school teacher in Biology. After that he switched to a job as accountmanager in the pharmaceutical industry. He experienced that it is necessary to have a social safe environment and even culture to perform best. Inspired by the fieldwork of researchers as Jane Goodall, Frans de Waal and Jan van Hooff, all true pioneers in studying great ape behavior, Seesink in 2013 decided to make his job of teaching and lecturing people in businesses about the inevitable link between great apes and humans.<\/p>\n
ApeWise was born (in Dutch: Bewust Zoo). His goal became to make managementteams aware of the basic need for recognition in a sociale safe environment. And furthermore to help them making their specific company socially safe. In a natural way, considering the evolutionary findings of Darwin: \u201cIt is not the strongest of the species that survive but the one most responsive to change\u201d.<\/p>\n
