The appointment
What the business needed.
The brief
An international wellness and health-technology business needed a Head of HR for Benelux as it grew in the region. The role had to connect the group’s global people priorities with the employment rules and workforce needs of three countries.
What made it hard
The brief combined three employment-law systems with a firm language requirement. Candidates needed fluent Dutch and English, working knowledge of Dutch, Belgian and Luxembourg employment law, and the coaching skills to support managers in a fast-moving international business. Each requirement narrowed the field.
Who we found
A senior HR leader who met the brief’s essentials: fluent in Dutch and English, with experience of employment law across the Benelux countries and a background in coaching managers.
What changed
The business gained one HR lead for the region, responsible for people strategy, recruitment, learning and succession planning, and for employee-relations advice in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
