Corporaties in Beweging

What Corporaties in Beweging does

Corporaties in Beweging (CiB) is a Dutch collaborative network of 29 housing corporations and related organizations operating in the Haaglanden, Rotterdam, and Drechtsteden regions, founded in 2017 from the shared conviction that housing corporations can achieve more by working together on overarching HR and labor-market themes. The organization's purpose is to attract, retain, and develop talent within the Dutch social-housing sector — addressing skill shortages in technical, sustainability, IT, and project-development roles, an aging workforce, and competition for qualified talent from the private sector.

CiB's core offering is a portfolio of interconnected programs rather than a single product. The FLOW learning and development platform (launched 2020, operated by partner flowweb.nl) provides member employees free access to workshops, e-learnings, webinars, and practical checklists, extended in 2026 by FLOW Gesprekken — three career-coaching sessions available every three years. The Thuisgeven traineeship (ikgeefthuis.nl) is the flagship MBO/HBO entry-level program placing young talent into member housing corporations with personal coaching, knowledge days, and leadership training. Werken bij de WOCO (werkenbijdewoco.nl) is the joint employer-branding and labor-market campaign. Four annual HR-netwerkdagen convene HR advisors and executive directors for knowledge sharing, complemented by structural intervisie and a 2025-launch internal Talent Program that allows employees to develop within their organizations for a year. The De Corporatie Academie (DCA) partnership adds a free training catalog, and The Predictive Index is integrated for behavioral and communication assessment.

CiB does not operate a traditional commercial revenue model. As a member-funded cooperative governed by a steering group (currently chaired by Leander van Waardenburg) and managed by programmamanager Nadine van Santen (appointed 2026 for a 2026-2027 term), the 11-person organization is collectively financed and steered by its 29 member housing corporations. The technology stack is partnership-led: FLOW, DCA, The Predictive Index, and Google Analytics — with no proprietary core technology. Distribution is exclusively through the member network, and primary acquisition channels are HR network days, traineeship cohorts, and regional partnerships with educational institutions.
