Team HeadFirst Group
Dare to win
At HeadFirst Group, we consider our work a top sport. We build a winning work environment. We embrace the power of Connecting People by supporting each other, sharing knowledge and celebrating successes. This is how we create an environment where everyone can perform their best!
Just like in the world of (elite) sports, where athletes push their limits every day and learn from each other, we apply these lessons in our approach. Our core value of Learn Every Day means that we want to improve ourselves every day. This mentality strengthens not only us as individuals, but also our team.
Topsport Community
Part of Team HeadFirst Group is the collaboration with Topsport Community, a foundation of Pieter van den Hoogenband (triple Olympic champion and chef de mission of TeamNL). Together with Topsport Community we want to bridge sports, science and business to achieve the best results. Whether it is about improving our working environment or stimulating personal growth, at HeadFirst Group we believe that together we get further.
Work & Top Sports
In conversation with Matthijs Jesse (HR) and Dennis Vesters (Recruitment) about the challenge of combining top sports and working at HeadFirst Group. They discuss how the mentality and discipline from sports are applied in daily work and how we create a culture where work and sporting ambitions go hand in hand.
In addition, there is plenty of room for flexible working hours so that our employees can coordinate their work with training schedules, competitions and recovery times. This is how we make it possible to perform at top level, both at work and in sports.
Best of Champions
At HeadFirst Group, we believe sports is more than just exercise. It connects people, inspires growth and shows what you can achieve together. These same values are reflected in how we work. That's why we go beyond just joining sports initiatives: we take the lead.
A great example? The very first edition of the HeadFirst Group - Best of Champions, which we brought to life together with The Dutch Masters and Olympic champion Jeroen Dubbeldam. During this unique event we brought back the iconic horse swap format, with top international riders riding each other's horses, an unprecedented spectacle!


"Team HeadFirst Group symbolizes our shared ambition to grow together, learn from each other and strengthen each other. We create a culture where talent can develop to its maximum potential both in the workplace and in sports."

Fit at work
We think vitality and an active lifestyle are important. Because those who feel good about themselves perform better and enjoy their work more. That is why we give you a vitality budget on top of your salary. We encourage you to take good care of yourself in a way that suits you.
We also have our own gym at the office, where you can exercise before, during or after work hours. Alone or with colleagues, whatever you prefer. Whether you go for strength training, cardio or just to clear your head: with us you don't have to leave the house to keep moving. Everything for a fit mindset and healthy balance!
Performing together
At Team HeadFirst Group, Connecting People takes center stage. We believe it is important not only to work together, but also to experience sports together. Whether it's achieving top results or enjoying a padel tournament with colleagues, we believe in the power of cooperation, both at work and outside. Watch the video of the second edition of the 'HeadFirst Open' and see how we sport, win and have fun together.
