WIM Arbo

What WIM Arbo does

WIM Arbo is a Dutch certified occupational health service provider (arbodienst) founded in 2016 and headquartered in Driebergen-Rijsenburg, Netherlands. The company delivers absenteeism management, occupational health advisory, and sustainable employability services to Dutch employers, operating across two principal customer segments: large enterprises (grootzakelijk) and small and medium-sized businesses (MKB) via its dedicated sub-brand WIM arbo-mkb. Service delivery is structured around a multidisciplinary team of first-line WIM advisors, occupational physicians (WIM artsen), and core experts (kerndeskundigen) covering occupational hygiene and workplace safety.

The company's core technological asset is WIM vx, a proprietary absence management software platform built on the XpertSuite foundation (developed by Other Side at Work). WIM vx underpins the company's integrated workflow for case management, advisory routing, and HR integration. The company also employs two proprietary intellectual property frameworks: the "20-60-20" absence methodology (a structured approach to identifying behavioral, circumstantial, and medical drivers of absenteeism) and "Het Goede Gesprek" (The Good Conversation), a structured dialogue framework used in advisor-employer engagement. Service portfolio is extended through a partnership with Het betere Werken, which provides coaching capabilities.

WIM Arbo operates primarily on a subscription and recurring service contract model typical of Dutch arbodiensten, where employers pay ongoing fees for occupational health coverage, advisory hours, and access to the WIM vx platform. Revenue is complemented by transactional HR support, project-based coaching via the Het betere Werken partnership, and bespoke advisory engagements. No publicly disclosed pricing or contract structures are available, and revenue concentration by segment or customer is not disclosed. The organization employs approximately 60+ staff, indicating a mid-sized occupational health operator relative to the Dutch arbodienst landscape.
