His research, teaching and consulting mainly focuses on work-family conflict, managerial stress, work life policies, cultural intelligence and coaching, mostly with a cross-cultural perspective. This has resulted in publications in journals like the Human Resource Management Review, Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Organizational Behaviour, Applied Psychology, an International Review, the International Journal of Cross-Cultural Management, and Personnel Psychology.

Before entering in academia he worked in a wide variety of organisations (profit and not-for-profit; government and business schools). He applied his insights on cross-cultural psychology and cognition in strategy in several consulting assignments for Peace Islands, an NGO with projects in Belgium, South-America, Africa, and Asia, helping them developing a global strategy and communication platform in multi-cultural workshops in Nicaragua and Benin. He has trained executives in multinationals such as Alcatel Telecom, DSM, Westinghouse Energy Systems, SWIFT (in Belgium) Nestlé, Henkel, Randstad, Nike, and Roche Diagnostics (in Spain). He has coached over 100 MBAstudents and executives of Sun Microsystems, Abbott, and participants in the Global MBA and Advanced Management Program of the IESE Business School. He is currently the external consultant of Roche Diagnostics and Nike Iberia in Spain for management development and work-life balance respectively.
He is co-author and editor of the academic volumes 'Work and Family. An International Research Perspective' (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates) and 'Harmonizing Work, Family, and Personal Life: From Policy to Practice' (Cambridge University Press). He published over a dozen peer reviewed journal articles and chapters in academic volumes. He is book review editor and guest-editor of the International Journal of Cross-Cultural Management (Sage Publications). He is a founding member of the European Academy of Management and international affiliate of the Academy of Management and the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology.
He published the book titled 'Quality Time', translated in Dutch (Lannoo; Belgium, the Netherlands; summer 2004) and Spanish (McGraw-Hill Interamericana; Spain, Latin-America; February 2005), divulgating his research to a broad audience. He experiences daily cross-cultural transitions between his family, his Spanish colleagues, and his international students at IESE from more than 40 countries around the globe. He practices four languages on a daily basis.

Title:Harmonizing Work, Family, and Personal LifeSubtitle:From Policy to PracticeAuthor:Paula CaligiuriEditor:Steven A. Y. PoelmansPublisher:Cambridge University Press Book:Hardcover, 328 pagesISBN:978-05-218-5869-4Advance praise: "Changing times call for changing paradigms. Harmonizing Work, Family, and Personal Life serves as a bridge to the future. Rather than seeing work versus family and personal lives - a concept that has held sway for several decades – this book strives for a both and approach of 'harmonizing' our lives. And rather than research for researchers versus human resource practice for practitioners, this book unites theory, research, policy, and practice across borders and continents. As such, it offers a wealth of research-tested practical ideas that can benefit employees and employers alike." — Ellen Galinsky, President, Families and Work Institute, New York
"Poelmans, Caligiuri, and their contributors offer today's human resource professionals a highly useful guide to perhaps the greatest challenge facing employees in contemporary organizations: integrating professional and personal demands and aspirations. The authors cover a range of important and timely topics including the impact of globalization on employees, facilitating career-life integration, and understanding how to create effective, supportive workplace cultures. Grounded in research but with clear implications for practice, this volume provides excellent insights and guidance for developing effective workforce management strategies." — Professor Brad Harrington, Executive Director, Boston College Center for Work and Family
"This inspiring book contains profound knowledge of work-family matters pertinent to business organizations, HR practitioners, researchers, and individual career aspirations. Current and grounded in the importance of understanding today's workforce diversity and economic globalization, it provides a wide range of policy options that can be tailored to fit firm-specific strategic goals. It is truly international, and includes in-depth analysis of multiple real world examples of employers offering culturally appropriate work-family and individual career assistance programs. This will be particularly valuable for multinational organizations as they strive to transfer competence across borders through people" — Professor Nini Yang, College of Business, San Francisco State University -

Titel:Kwalitijd
(Nederlandse versie van Tiempo de Calidad)Subtitel:zo kom je tot een beter evenwicht tussen werk en priveAuteur:Steven PoelmansUitgeverij:Academic ServiceUitvoering:Paperback, 223 pagina'sISBN:978-90-774-4211-1Kwalitijd heeft te maken met het verbeteren van de kwaliteit en de diepgang van de tijd die je doorbrengt in de verschillende domeinen van het bestaan: werk, gezin en familie, en het intieme leven. Kwalitijd is het optimaliseren van jouw tijd in termen van efficiëntie en ' belangrijker nog ' in termen van geluk, zowel voor jezelf als voor degenen die je dierbaar zijn.
Afrekenen met misvattingen
Steven Poelmans ontmaskert in dit boek een aantal mythen en diepgewortelde misvattingen over de oorzaak van lage kwaliteit van tijd en leven. Daarnaast reikt hij een aantal methoden aan voor het vaststellen van de eigen levensbestemming, doelstellingen en prioriteiten. Maar bovenal biedt het boek strategieën waarmee je systematisch kwalitijd in je leven kunt scheppen, voor jezelf en voor de mensen in je omgeving.
Meer dan tijdmanagement
Kwalitijd is meer dan een boek over tijdmanagement, waarbij het gaat om het elimineren van tijdvreters en onderscheid maken tussen dringende en belangrijke zaken. Het is een onmisbare gids waarmee je leert kwalitijd te scheppen afhankelijk van eigen persoonlijkheid, en sterke en zwakke punten. Het is een praktisch boek dat uitnodigt tot actie en tot verandering.
Dit boek is bestemd voor managers, werknemers, ouders, partners, kortom voor iedereen die meer en meer tot het besef komt hoe moeilijk het is om het goede evenwicht te vinden tussen werk en privé.
"Steven Poelmans is de meester van de rake observatie, de leuke link met onderzoek en de confronterende vraag." — prof. dr. Marc Buelens
