Catherine Bölger, 's Heeren Loo
Ramon de Groot, 's Heeren Loo
Manager HR
Catherine has been with 's Heeren Loo for over five years, initially serving as the recruitment manager and now as the HR manager. In this role, she is responsible for HR service delivery in various regions and oversees HR teams. Catherine began by leading the recruitment department towards becoming a proactive unit that operates decentrally, close to the customers, and thinks from the perspective of the job applicant rather than solely from the managers. She then transitioned to the "working from your talent" approach, the new recruitment strategy, which was implemented in July '23.
Manager
Ramon has been working in the disability care field for 20 years, holding various roles such as a social worker, change manager, and academy manager. In his position as the academy manager at 's Heeren Loo, he, along with the management team, is responsible for supporting approximately 17,000 employees in their learning and development journeys. In addition to overseeing regional academy teams and the strategic development of the academy, his specific focus is on developing new collaborations and innovations with the education sector in the Netherlands.
In the rapidly changing job market, attracting and retaining top talent is the key to success. ’s Heeren Loo recognizes this, and that's why the organization opts for an innovative, creative, and personalized approach to recruitment, development, and employee retention. The focus here is on 'working from talent,' and recruitment and learning have been transformed into a powerful synergy aimed at continuous growth, development, and internal mobility.
