Next generation at work
It was that time again: our annual Next Generation at Work event. An afternoon where work and family come together in Hoofddorp. Children curiously looking around to see where mom or dad is spending all that time. Parents beaming and colleagues seeing each other from a different side. An afternoon like this proves what we consider important as an organization: Connecting people. And how beautiful it is that we don't just say that, but actually live it. That you see that work is not a place of only meetings, laptops and tightly packed agendas. Exactly because we believe that connecting with each other creates value.
Poking around the office
The little ones got a behind-the-scenes look at their parents' work. And it didn't stop at watching.
They dove into an afternoon of activities organized in our own HeadFirst Group theater:
- jumping on a cheerful bouncy castle, with slide of course!
- glitter and color in the face thanks to the make-up table
- get a balloon figure at the tiktok-hype bella balloon
And if that wasn't enough, Stitch walked around giving everyone a hug and taking pictures together. There was also plenty of time to finally show the kids where mom or dad hangs out all day. These tours caused puzzled looks here and there, especially at the desks that can be raised and lowered. Suddenly mom or dad's work seemed less "dusty" than imagined after all.
The beauty of the day: parents proudly shared their workplaces and children saw that work is not just about screens and numbers, but also about fun and cooperation. This provides conversation material for home and bonding for the workplace.

If this day made anything clear, it is that working becomes even more fun when you really know your colleagues. Not just from behind a screen, but in the small moments in between and the conversations that linger. At HeadFirst Group we believe that attention is not an extra, but the standard. If you combine that with a good dose of fun, you get a work environment where you go to every day with meaning.
