What you will do as an HR Officer:

• Primary point of contact for employees and managers regarding development, employability, absenteeism, and employment conditions.

• Contribute to the development and updating of HR policies, including the employee handbook and employment contracts (Dutch and English), and ensure clear implementation within the organization.

• Direct the monthly payroll and personnel changes, in close cooperation with external payroll administrations in both the Netherlands and abroad. Ensure correct and timely processing.

• Guide absenteeism processes and act as a sparring partner for managers, in collaboration with the occupational health service and in line with the Gatekeeper Improvement Act (Wet verbetering Poortwachter).

• Analyze HR data, such as sickness absence and personnel developments, and translate these into management information and improvement proposals.

• Coordinate and manage the recruitment and selection process.

• Manage and optimize HR administrative processes, including leave and pension changes, with a focus on efficiency and compliance.

• Organize team events in collaboration with colleagues: drinks, teambuilding days.

You will work on an organization-wide project in which the HR processes of our branches in The Hague and Germany are further integrated. Part of this is an analysis of the most suitable HR software solution, with the goal of arriving at one future-proof HR platform.

Additionally, we will also work on optimizing a complete employee journey, from recruitment to offboarding, with the goal of more efficient HR processes and a better employee experience.

You will work in a small HR team of three people and report to the Head of HR, working closely with the Leadership team in The Hague and the HR department in Leipzig (Germany) to optimally align the processes. In the event of absence, you will ensure a smooth handover of duties in collaboration with the office in Leipzig, with both locations supporting each other where necessary.

Your base will be the head office in The Hague, where approximately 50 colleagues work. The organization is characterized by an open, international, and engaged working atmosphere. We are looking for someone who fits well within the team and actively contributes to the further professionalization and development of the HR function.
