HR Strategy and Organizational Support

As a freelance HR Business Partner, I bring extensive experience in creating clear, forward-thinking HR policies that balance employee needs and organizational goals. This includes:

  • Policy Development: Crafted and implemented policies for onboarding, remote work, and travel reimbursement, along with setting guidelines on employee behavior, complaints, and whistleblower procedures.
  • Internal Process Optimization: Enhanced HR system usage (e.g. AFAS, SDWorx) for better digital HR management and integrated internal recruitment strategies.
  • Job evaluation: Job evaluation empowers organizations to align talent with strategic priorities, enhancing operational efficiency, engagement, and the ability to attract and retain top talent (HAY, Ratoplan, HR21, Orba)
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Coordinated policy and process changes with organizational bodies such as Works Councils, aligning interests across teams.

Employee Relations

In various freelance HR advisory roles, I provided end-to-end employee support, from legal advisory to process setup in startup and corporate environments: Guidance on Employment Law: Advised on Dutch labor law and employee relations to support policy adherence and conflict resolution.

Learning and Development

In my view this is integral to fostering a skilled, knowledgeable workforce. By identifying training needs, designing effective programs, and promoting a culture of learning, this contributes significantly to employee satisfaction, retention, and overall organizational success.
