Vitality is extremely important to us. Every month you receive a vitality budget that you can spend on whatever gives you energy. Whether that is a sports subscription, yoga class or painting course. At our headquarters in Hoofddorp you will even find our own gym which you can use free of charge.

For your mental health, we have a partnership with OpenUp, which includes 1-on-1 sessions with psychologists, mindfulness training and self-development tools. We make sure you stay strong, resilient and balanced.

Work isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. We offer a travel arrangement tailored to each individual. Depending on your role, you may be eligible for a company car. In addition, you’ll always receive a mileage allowance or an NS Business Card. You’ll also receive an internet allowance and the option to buy or sell vacation days. This allows you to customize a package that fits your situation and stage of life.

We value our people not only as professionals, but also as human beings. This is reflected in the little things: a gift on your birthday, a personal card sent to your home, fresh fruit on the shop floor and a healthy lunch at the office at a reduced price. Because we like to celebrate successes together, we regularly organize team outings and events that focus on connection and fun. You can be who you are and celebrate your achievements - together with your team.

Personal development is high on our agenda. Through our own HeadFirst Group Academy you get access to an extensive learning platform with trainings, e-learningsworkshops and coaching. Whether you want to deepen your professional knowledge, work on your soft skills or prepare for the next step in your career: with us you get all the space you need to develop yourself.

Finally, we think it is important that you are well insured and can look to the future with confidence. That is why we have a solid pension plan through BeFrankgroup health insurance with attractive discounts and supplementary insurances such as accident insurance and WIA Supplementary insurance. Security is not a luxury, but a natural part of being a good employer.

The speed of digitization is tremendous. Some are already sprinting ahead, while others still have to get used to the new way of working. At HeadFirst Group, we make sure we support both groups. For the employees who are already further along in their digital journey, we offer learning opportunities and projects that challenge them further. For the others, we have programs that help them feel more comfortable in the digital landscape. In this way, we ensure that no one is left behind and everyone can develop at their own pace.

I believe that HR not only plays a supporting role here, but must also take an active role in building an organization that can move quickly. This means developing the skills of employees at the forefront of digital change, but also the leaders who can guide them through these changes.

It takes a lot from organizations to stay fast and agile in a digital world. The same goes for our leaders. We need them not only to perform well operationally, but also as strategists who can set the organization's course in an unpredictable future. At HeadFirst Group, we develop leadership that focuses on more than just management; it's about the ability to develop vision, inspire teams and lead employees through change.

Our leaders drive the culture of continuous improvement. By hosting regular leadership programs and focusing on agility and inclusiveness, we ensure that our leaders are always ready to take on new challenges and lead employees through change.

As HR leaders, we have a responsibility not only to react to the changes that are upon us, but to actively drive the direction we want to go. This means not only guiding and supporting, but also building and implementing. It is up to us to create the right environment where talent can flourish, where employees feel supported in their digital growth, and where everyone feels valued.

At HeadFirst Group, we believe that people will always remain the greatest differentiator, even in the midst of technological advances. And as HR, our job is to create an environment where employees can develop and make the most of their talents.

"It is crucial for us to listen to our colleagues. The input from the annual Great Place To Work survey gives us concrete tools to become an even better employer," Joke explains. "This survey uses the Trust Index to measure how employees experience trust, pride and job satisfaction. This year we achieved a score of 77%!".

Among other things, the survey shows that employees feel valued, see the impact of their work more clearly and consider our working conditions unique. In addition, 94% of our employees report feeling fully themselves in the workplace.

"We are now also recognized as Best Workplaces for Women and are ranked #4 in the Mid Large category. The title Best Workplaces for Women is not just recognition. It shows that we create a work environment where everyone feels seen, valued and encouraged to grow, regardless of gender. We are actively committed to diversity and inclusion, and it shows in our organization," adds Joke.

• 50% of our executives are women (well above the 33% average)
• Our senior management is diverse
• Our female colleagues rate us with a Trust Index score of at least 70%

Is an award for the "best workplaces for women" anno 2025 still necessary? The answer is: yes, absolutely. Despite the fact that women in the Netherlands are fully participating in the labor market, they (still) more often work part-time, in lower-paid sectors, and unjustifiably receive lower pay within the same sectors and positions.

Companies on the Best Workplaces for Women list are more successful than the national average: 96% of women feel they are treated fairly, compared to 84% nationally. Women also stay employed longer (82% vs. 67%).

This list highlights that gender equality is not an empty concept, but really works. Organizations on the list prove that inclusive policies lead to greater connection, better collaboration and impact.

The afternoon was full of fun things to do and experience. A few highlights:

• Elsa and Olaf visiting!
  A fairytale experience, with children visibly enjoying the moment with these familiar characters.
• Spiderman superhero show
  The superhero show with Spiderman, which provided a cool finale and had children enthusiastically posing with their hero.
• Jumping, face painting and games
  There was plenty of action for the youngest: a bouncy castle, face painting corner and a variety of creative games ensured that no one was bored.
