What paraDIGMA group does

paraDIGMA group (paraDIGMA groep B.V.) is a Dutch occupational health services provider headquartered in Nieuwegein, Netherlands, organized as a group of nine collaborating labels that together deliver preventive, curative, and re-integrative arbodienstverlening (occupational health) services to organizations across the Netherlands. With approximately 1,000 employees operating from nine offices and 80+ service locations, the company serves employers in healthcare, construction, education, retail, and cleaning sectors through enterprise B2B contracts covering absence management, psychological counseling, reintegration support (including UWV coordination), training, and strategic HR consulting for sustainable employability (duurzame inzetbaarheid).

The company's core technology stack centers on the proprietary FIT Strategy methodology, comprising four domains (Organization FIT, Job FIT, Mental FIT, Physical FIT) and 36 scientifically validated building blocks developed in partnership with Prof. Dr. Wilmar Schaufeli. Supporting digital platforms include paraDIGMA Online (an absence registration and communication system, in versions 1.0 and 2.0), a Customer Portal for administrative and contract management, and the Reflacté human development tool (rebranded from the ACT measurement in May 2024). Thought leadership is delivered through the Anders Denken Platform (podcast, magazine, annual symposium) and the OMG generational podcast.

Revenue is generated through enterprise B2B contracts with Dutch organizations on a quote-based, annual-billing model, combining subscription-style managed services for sustainable employability programs with professional services for occupational health, training, and psychological counseling. The company was acquired by Castik Capital S.à r.l. through its EPIC II fund on July 16, 2024, and announced a new CEO, Reiant Mulder, on March 9, 2026.
