Our manifesto for adaptive HR

Energised work ethic and inspirational growth

HR (Human Resources), People Operations, People & Culture - whatever you want to call our work, what matters to us is a "high performance culture" with inspiring leadership.
Growing an organization in an inspirational manner doesn’t always have to be about increasing turnover or employees. It can also refer to growth in quality and / or impact, preferably all at the same time 😉

What we do:

• We work on your employer brand (what kind of employer do you want to be?), source and select the best people for your company.
• We ensure new employees experience a smooth landing and rapid onboarding.
• We coach and guide you and your team,  in the preparation and approach, in order to conduct constructive conversations. We give and receive feedback to create an open and honest culture.
• We optimize team collaboration (composition and who is going to do what).
• We train leaders on the job. Who are you as a manager and how do you cope, without shouldering all responsibilities? How do you ensure  you get the best out of your team and deal with the daily issues that land on your plate?
• We build culture within your organization (core values and norms, plus set the guidelines concerning how you want your organization to run and who  fits where).   And …
• We build sustainable solutions, offering advice regarding; clarity and equality in terms of employment, remuneration, development and growth. We supervise reorganisations and act as case manager in the event of sick leave.

The way we work is not by telling you what to do, or doing what you say. We’re not interested in showing you our finest powerpoint presentation. Instead, we implement and work together side-by-side  with you to get things done (VIE’s core value 1: ‘doing together’ and core value 3: ‘genuinely direct’).

Great structure for fast-growing companies

The whole HR profession covers a broad field. We love structure and handle the different phases in business growth  really well. Meaning you don't have to do everything at once. We keep things clear. If you are a small group,  there’s no point building a fancy remuneration  system. We suggest avoiding the issues of the day, falling into long existing pitfalls. If you scroll down, you can find our “HR road to scale up phase model” here.  We have already assisted more than one hundred start-ups & scale-ups and even helped create a unicorn. Every day we work on improving our approach (VIE’s core value 2: make things better).

Vision and are customer-orientation

We’re fully invested in our field, ensuring we are visionaries when it comes to forming opinions. We’ll hold a mirror against your business and discuss the best approach with you. We have found, through past experience, that our clients listen to our feedback. Of course you make the decision in the end. (VIE core value 3: genuinely direct)

You too can build a better world

Within VIE and as a B Corp, we contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. It’s in our blood - and not something you have to consciously choose for. There are simple ways to support these goals. For example, by providing opportunities for both you and your employees to learn and improve, you facilitate and increase in this way possibilities within the labor market, increasing the prospect of a higher salary. You become an attractive organization - with a team who wants to stay, rather than feeling ‘stuck’ in a job. This in turn, contributes to SDG 8: decent work & economic growth. We measure our progress and impact and adjust accordingly. What we do together really makes a difference.

Technology and scientific insights

We base our approach on the latest (scientific) insights and technologies. Through our satirical campaign we illustrate how things should not be done! On the other hand, you can listen to our podcast the workprofessor (in Dutch), created together with BNR (national Business News Radio station in The Netherlands), to discover how things should be done.
