Ministerie van Inzetbaarheid

What Ministerie van Inzetbaarheid does

Ministerie van Inzetbaarheid is a private Dutch consultancy (research bureau+) specializing in sustainable employability (duurzame inzetbaarheid), headquartered in Enschede, Netherlands. The company was founded by four individuals — Thomas Allersma, Jordy Kamphuis, Michel Kerver, and Ramon Kosters — who operate internally as "ministers," alongside a team of approximately eleven ambassadors/advisors who conduct individual follow-up conversations with client employees. Despite the naming, the firm is not a government ministry; the "Ministerie" branding is figurative.

The company offers a portfolio of occupational health and employee experience products, organized around three pillars: awareness, research, and development. Research products include PMO (Preventief Medisch Onderzoek, from €99.50/employee), MTO (Medewerkerstevredenheidsonderzoek / Inzetbaarheidsscan, from €48.50/employee), PSA (Psychosociale Arbeidsbelasting), PAGO, Werkgeluk, Werkplekonderzoek, Stressweerbaarheidsscan, Quickscan (€595/half-day), Health Check, and Taakbelastbaarheidsonderzoek. Intervention and development services include Fitwave (physical vitality), Mentwave (mental well-being), and individual/team/organizational development programs. Data handling is ISO 27001-certified.

The business model is a direct-to-organisation consultancy with field sales targeting Dutch enterprises across government, education, manufacturing, transport, housing, and retail. All services are delivered directly by the company's advisors; there are no resellers or marketplace channels. Pricing is per-employee for research and per-session for ad hoc health checks, billed as one-time engagements. The company is bootstrapped, with no external funding or parent organization.

Direct peers

• GITP: Dutch HR consultancy offering assessments, leadership, and organisational development services. Comparable to Ministerie van Inzetbaarheid on the team/organisational development and HR-advisory dimensions, complementing the research/measurement overlap.
• OpenUp: Dutch-founded mental wellbeing platform for employees, offering on-demand access to psychologists and mental-health resources. Comparable to the Mentwave/PSA offerings of Ministerie van Inzetbaarheid, but delivered through a digital-first SaaS model rather than advisor-led fieldwork.
• Boodschap: Dutch employee engagement and feedback research firm offering survey-based listening and activation. Directly comparable on employee research, though with a more measurement-led and less personal-conversation-heavy methodology.
• Effectory: Dutch-headquartered employee feedback and listening research firm offering surveys and follow-up conversations for organisations across Europe. Closely comparable to Ministerie van Inzetbaarheid on the MTO/research side, though with a larger scale and broader international footprint.

Broad incumbents

• ArboNed: One of the largest Dutch occupational health and safety service providers, delivering PMO, PAGO, and absenteeism-related services to Dutch employers. Overlaps with Ministerie van Inzetbaarheid's PMO and PAGO offerings but as part of a much broader occupational-health portfolio.
• HumanTotalCare: Dutch occupational-health and employability services group (including ArboNed subsidiary assets). Comparable on PMO/PAGO and sustainable-employability services, but at materially larger scale and with bundled HR/absence-management offerings.
• 365/Arbounie: Dutch occupational health service provider offering PMO, PAGO, and absenteeism support to employers. Comparable on the medical-examination and employability research dimensions, but operating as a broad incumbent rather than a research-bureau-plus specialist.
• Calm Business: Global workplace mindfulness and meditation platform targeting employer wellness programmes. Comparable on the workplace mindfulness and stress-reduction side, but at much larger scale and with a software-delivery model.
• Headspace for Work: Global workplace mental health and mindfulness platform serving enterprises. Comparable to the corporate mindfulness/stress-resilience and Werkgeluk offerings of Ministerie van Inzetbaarheid, but as a globally scaled digital incumbent.

Regional players

• Visma | YouServe: Dutch HR-tech and HR-services platform offering payroll, HR administration, and employee data tooling. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but its bundled HR analytics and employee-data products could be substituted for parts of the firm's research stack over time.
