HeadFirst Group joins Topsport Community
HeadFirst Group is all about connecting people and doing a little better every day. We are building a winning work environment where collaboration and performance are key. To reinforce this, we have joined the Topsport Community, founded by Pieter van den Hoogenband, Olympic swimming champion and 'chef de mission' of TeamNL in Paris 2024.
Our CEO, Marion van Happen, is excited about the partnership: "Sport has a unique power to connect people, which fits perfectly with our core value 'Connecting People'. Top athletes strive every day to be a fraction faster or better, and that is exactly the mentality we have at HeadFirst Group as well. Together with the Topsport Community, we want to make that culture of winning and working together even stronger."
Pieter van den Hoogenband, founder of the Topsport Community, is also enthusiastic; "HeadFirst Group is a fantastic company that understands what we want to achieve with the Topsport Community: connecting the worlds of top sport, science and business and sharing knowledge. So that we move forward together. HeadFirst Group breathes top sport: they are curious and want to perform. We therefore look forward to the cooperation."
For Bart van der Geest, Head of Marketing Communication & CX, this is a perfect match: "The collaboration with Topsport Community fits into the bigger picture of our 'Team HeadFirst Group' program. We are building a winning work environment, matching our status of 'great place to work'. The winning mentality from sports fits perfectly. Playing sports together, experiencing sports together, cheering together. We believe this contributes to our desired culture, our employer brand and our appeal as a service provider."
In short, this collaboration is more than just a partnership. It is a joint ambition to continue to grow, innovate and strive for the best together! At HeadFirst Group, we believe we get further together - in the workplace and beyond.

About the coming year, she would like to say the following. Marion continues about this year's ambition and goals: "In 2024, we will continue our existing strategy. We want to realize our vision of being technology agnostic for all our stakeholders, with our platforms Striive, ProUnity and OpenTalent at the center. By making smart use of automation and AI, we can further digitize the end-to-end process so that we can add our personal touch at the moments when it really adds value. Beyond our core business, we are taking the lead in moving toward a just, diverse and inclusive labor market. We are building an even more sustainable organization so that we can provide value to the society around us. Our ambition is to be the first HR tech company to become Bcorp certified this year."
