BeLife

What BeLife does

BeLife is a Dutch B2B occupational health services company headquartered in Aalsmeer with a registered office in Rotterdam, and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arbo Unie, an occupational health group with over a century of operating history in the Netherlands. The company delivers two integrated core service lines to organizations: Bedrijfsfysiotherapie (Corporate Physiotherapy) and Psychologie (Psychology). Its physiotherapy offering spans structured modules including Coaching on the Job, Physical Load Assessment, Workplace Assessment, Employability Conversations, On-Site Corporate Physiotherapy, and Training & Workshops. Its psychology offering comprises Individual and Preventive pathways delivered by (GZ-)psychologists. All services are human-delivered clinical interventions; the company has no proprietary digital platform, AI/ML capability, or technology product.

The underlying delivery model combines direct on-location services at client worksites with a nationwide network of over 40 affiliated physiotherapy practices across the Netherlands, enabling local access to care. BeLife generates revenue through professional services contracts negotiated directly with organizations, typically structured as retainers or per-service engagements with pricing that varies by scope, employee count, and organizational needs. The go-to-market is sales-led, targeting HR managers, employers, and managers in sectors with physically demanding work (production, logistics, construction, healthcare) as well as organizations facing rising mental health and absenteeism challenges. Marketing is supported by a content infrastructure of whitepapers, a monthly newsletter, LinkedIn presence, and educational webinars.

The company is privately held and discloses no funding rounds, investor base, or financial performance. Strategic positioning relies on the inherited credibility of the Arbo Unie parent, the breadth of the affiliated practice network, evidence-based clinical protocols, and published outcome metrics (up to 25% absenteeism reduction; over 65% of employees symptom-free). Customer base is segmented horizontally across multiple industries with no publicly named logos, and operations are confined to the Netherlands.

Broad incumbents

• Capita Health: Large UK occupational health and wellbeing provider serving enterprise clients with end-to-end absence, physiotherapy, and mental health services — useful international benchmark for BeLife's bundled B2B health model.
• Arbo Unie: BeLife's parent company and one of the largest occupational health providers in the Netherlands. Operates broader arbodienstverlening for large enterprises, encompassing but specializing less in BeLife's physiotherapy+psychology bundle.
• Open Health: UK-headquartered occupational health and corporate wellbeing provider with a broad portfolio of absence management, health surveillance, and physiotherapy services — a scaled international analogue to BeLife's bundled offering.

Direct peers

• iPractice: Dutch psychology practice network delivering individual therapy and corporate mental health services. Comparable to BeLife's psychology offering, particularly for B2B contracts with Dutch employers.
• Perspectief Groep: Netherlands-based occupational health and reintegration specialist focused on sustainable employability and return-to-work programs, directly comparable to BeLife's absenteeism and reintegration offering.
• HumanTotalCare: Dutch occupational health and absence-management provider serving organizations across the Netherlands with arbodienst, medical, and prevention services, making it a close functional peer to BeLife's employer-focused offering.
• Zorg van de Zaak: Large Dutch occupational health services provider offering arbodienstverlening, absenteeism guidance, and workplace health solutions to employers — directly comparable to BeLife's B2B occupational health and absenteeism-prevention model.
• 365 Werk: Dutch occupational health and absenteeism service provider serving SMEs and mid-market employers with reintegration, prevention, and workplace health solutions — closely overlapping with BeLife's sustainable-employability positioning.

Emerging players

• OpenUp: European digital mental health platform offering on-demand psychology and EAP-style services to employers. Competes with BeLife's psychology line on the preventive and early-intervention layer with a lower-cost digital delivery model.
• CoWorkr: Emerging workplace wellbeing platform targeting Dutch and European employers with preventive health, mental resilience, and employee support tools — partial overlap with BeLife's coaching, training, and prevention pathways.
