Core offering

LPD (operating through the Margolin – Arbeidsdeskundig advies brand) provides independent occupational health advisory services to Dutch employers, combining reactive absenteeism and reintegration services with preventive sustainable employability advice. Its portfolio includes occupational research, expert consultancy, wage valuation, preventive occupational functional analysis (PAA), sustainable employability advisory, scenario planning, file review (Dossierscan), first-track reintegration (Spoor 1), work resumption advice, and sector-specific pre-advisory for primary education.

Product overview

Margolin is an occupational health advisory firm providing independent, expert consultancy services to employers and employees across the Netherlands. The company operates as a unified service offering — a portfolio of advisory and analytical services — rather than a software platform. Its core offerings are organized around two stages: services for situations where absenteeism has already occurred (Arbeidsdeskundig onderzoek, Arbeidsdeskundige consultancy, Werkhervattingsadvies, Re-integratie spoor 1, Dossierscan, Scenarioplanning) and preventive services aimed at avoiding absenteeism and promoting sustainable employability (Preventieve Arbeidsdeskundige Functieanalyse, Duurzaam inzetbaarheidsadvies). Supporting these are specialized services for wage determination (Loonwaardebepaling) and sector-specific offerings such as pre-advisory services for primary education. The company maintains national coverage, works across both profit and non-profit sectors, and assigns dedicated teams for large clients.

Direct peers

• ArboNed: One of the largest Dutch occupational health and absenteeism service providers, offering employer-facing reintegration, occupational health, and case-management services. Directly comparable to Margolin in customer base (Dutch employers) and service portfolio.
• HumanTotalCare: Dutch occupational health and sustainable employability provider serving employers across the Netherlands. Direct competitor in arbeidsdeskundig advies, verzuimbegeleiding, and reintegration services.
• Zorg van de Zaak: Dutch occupational health and HR services group offering absenteeism management, occupational health, and reintegration services to employers. Operates in the same regulatory and customer landscape as Margolin.
• Ardeon: Margolin's 2025 strategic partner; a Dutch occupational advisory firm serving employers with reintegration and employability services. Pre-partnership they were direct competitors; post-deal they are now platform allies.

Regional players

• BKV Beroepskrachten: Dutch workforce and HR-services firm with overlap on occupational advisory and healthcare staffing. Comparable on customer type and Dutch regional focus, though broader in healthcare staffing.

Emerging players

• Effectory: Dutch employee-feedback and HR advisory firm serving employers across the Netherlands. Partial overlap with Margolin's sustainable employability and HR advisory positioning, though with a different primary methodology.

Broad incumbents

• Colbe: Margolin's parent corporate group, operating multiple HR and occupational services brands in the Netherlands. Comparable as the parent platform that bundles advisory, benefits, and employer services.
• UWV (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen): Dutch government agency administering employee insurance and reintegration policy. Not a competitor for paid advisory but the regulatory anchor whose policies shape the demand for Margolin's mandated services.
• Adecco Netherlands: Global staffing and HR-services firm with a Dutch operation serving employer HR needs. Comparable employer-customer base, though Adecco's model is staffing-led rather than occupational advisory.

Others

• TNO: Dutch applied-research organization that informs occupational health policy and standards. Not a commercial peer but a relevant ecosystem participant whose research shapes the arbeidsdeskundig advice field Margolin operates in.
