Inclusief Groep

What Inclusief Groep does

Inclusief Groep is a Dutch non-profit work development company (Werkontwikkelbedrijf) headquartered in Nunspeet and operating in the Noord-Veluwe and Stedendriehoek regions. Founded in 2004 and operating as part of Werkcentrum Veluwe Stedendriehoek (a government/regional entity), the company exists to integrate people with distance to the labor market — including individuals with disabilities, mental-health conditions, refugees, the long-term unemployed, and youth without qualifications — into meaningful employment. Its four primary customer segments are employers seeking work outsourcing, employers seeking personnel, organizations (municipalities, UWV, healthcare institutions) seeking candidate trajectories, and job seekers themselves.

The company delivers six core service lines: Elektromontage (electronics assembly), Groenvoorziening (green maintenance, partly with SIGHT Landscaping), Postbezorging (mail delivery via a PostNL partnership effective July 2023), Schoonmaak (professional cleaning), Productie (logistics/production), and Catering. Operational subsidiaries and sub-brands include Inclusief Gresbo Post (an independent postal operation delivering 3.5 million items annually and selling VeluweZegel and DecemberZegel stamps through ~80 retailers), the Participatiehuis work-and-learning centers in Ermelo and Harderwijk, the Schoonmaak Academie and Groen Academie training programs, and the Care&Work (with Careander) and Werkkracht (with GGz Centraal) joint trajectory projects. The company has developed proprietary assistive technologies — Cobot collaborative robotics with Hellebrekers Industrial Automation and Beamer projection-based task guidance with KIT and TNO — designed to enable task enrichment for workers with physical or cognitive limitations.

Revenue is generated through three streams: work-outsourcing fees (employers pay for completed tasks across the six service lines), personnel placement fees (matching workers with employer needs supported by job coaching), and postage product sales (VeluweZegel and DecemberZegel, the latter at €0.81 per stamp). Certifications include CO2 Prestatieladder Niveau 5 (highest tier) and PSO-Trede 3 with the PSO 30+ certificate, validating both sustainability leadership and social enterprise performance. Leadership comprises Algemeen directeur Risco Balkenende and Bedrijfsdirecteur Gert-Jan Gerrits.
