Mensura

What Mensura does

Mensura is a Belgian external service for prevention and protection at work (Externe Dienst voor Preventie en Bescherming op het Werk), structured as a non-profit association (vzw) and headquartered in Brussels. Founded in 2006 with 501–1,000 employees, it serves more than 50,000 Belgian employers across all sizes and sectors, positioning itself as the second-largest occupational well-being provider in Belgium after Attentia. Its core offering is organized around five service pillars — mental well-being, absenteeism management, physical health, workplace safety, and well-being guidance — supplemented by the Learn&Connect training academy and the Mensura Consult NV consulting arm. The group operates through related legal entities, including Mensura Consult N.V. (wholly owned, commercial consulting) and Certimed vzw (medical examinations and health-data processing).

Technically, Mensura runs the Learn&Connect digital learning platform, which delivers e-learning, online instructor-led, classroom, blended, and VR-based training accessible via personal customer accounts for one year post-purchase. Its proprietary-feature footprint is modest: an AI-powered back-pain prevention app (brought to Belgium in October 2024) that assesses body positioning to generate personalized ergonomic recommendations, and a secure whistleblowing platform (Whistlelink) operated in partnership with auditor BDO. The company also maintains a proprietary research base — annual studies such as the Motivation Barometer and absenteeism surveys (e.g., 1,355 employees and 571 employers surveyed) — underpinning its thought-leadership and advisory positioning.

Revenue is generated across three mechanics: recurring affiliation fees from its legally mandated external prevention service (Belgian employers are legally obliged to affiliate with a recognized service); one-time training enrollments via Learn&Connect (priced per participant/day, e.g., from €495–€1,314 or in prevention points); and professional-services consulting billed hourly through Mensura Consult NV. Go-to-market is sales-led and domestic, combining direct enterprise outreach, open-enrollment and in-company training, a client-zone self-serve portal, and demand generation anchored in research publications, webinars, and earned media. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
