GHZ Planners

What GHZ Planners does

GHZ Planners is a Dutch professional services firm that detaches specialized planners to disability care (GHZ) and intellectual disability (VG) institutions across the Netherlands, operating under the legal name GHZPlanners and the sub-brand RevalidatiePlanners. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Amsterdam, the company deploys a national network of more than 150 experienced planners on both temporary and long-term assignments, targeting organizations facing planner shortages, long-term illness, system implementations, or process optimization needs. Its primary customer use cases include filling scheduling gaps, supporting the implementation of planning systems (Ortec, SDB, Nedap Ons), reducing costly PNIL (external flexibility pool) deployment, and improving roster health and continuity.

The company operates a B2B field sales model with direct outreach to healthcare institutions, supplemented by a content-driven marketing engine (Kenniscentrum) that publishes webinars, masterclasses, and knowledge documents on topics such as cyclical scheduling, gross-net FTE calculation, flexpool design, and CAO GHZ labor law. Revenue is generated through professional services/detachment contracts, with no publicly disclosed pricing. All planners are trained in-house prior to first deployment, which the company cites as enabling productivity from day one. The firm is SNA-certified for labor and financial compliance, a meaningful procurement credential in the Dutch staffing market.

Leadership is founder-led, with Erik Braun and Morrison Lesger serving as Directors and Jim Heemskerk leading education and quality. The company has no disclosed funding, no institutional investors, no acquisitions, and no public financials. Technology is operationally oriented around third-party planning systems rather than proprietary IP; there is no evidence of AI/ML or data product development. The overall strategy is a domain-specialized staffing franchise with a content and community layer, scaling headcount and building adjacent verticals such as rehabilitation care.

Direct peers

• Driessen: Driessen is a Dutch staffing and detachering organization specializing in the public sector and care domains. It shares GHZ Planners' B2B detachment model targeting institutional care and public-sector clients in the Netherlands, making it a comparable specialized staffing peer.
• Mediant: Mediant is a Dutch mental-health (ggz) staffing and detachering organization. While operating in an adjacent care vertical, it mirrors GHZ Planners' model of deploying specialized, trained workforce professionals into Dutch care institutions on temporary and long-term contracts.
• Maandag: Maandag is a Dutch staffing and detachering firm with a strong focus on healthcare, public sector, and education. It operates a similar B2B detachment model across the Netherlands, directly comparable to GHZ Planners' planner-deployment model.
• BKV: BKV is a Dutch staffing and recruitment specialist focused on the healthcare sector, including care and welfare roles. Like GHZ Planners, it provides domain-specialized healthcare workforce solutions across the Netherlands, making it the closest direct comparable in terms of vertical focus and customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Yacht: Yacht is a Randstad-owned Dutch consultancy and detachering brand focused on higher-skilled professionals including healthcare, IT, and finance. It overlaps with GHZ Planners in deploying skilled professionals to institutional clients under B2B contracts, though its positioning is broader and more consultancy-oriented.
• Randstad Nederland: Randstad is the largest general staffing incumbent in the Netherlands, with established healthcare and administrative verticals. It overlaps with GHZ Planners on B2B detachering and roster-planning work, but as part of a much broader portfolio rather than a GHZ-specialized offering.
• Tempo-Team Nederland: Tempo-Team is a major Dutch general staffing brand offering detachering, secondment, and recruitment across multiple sectors including healthcare and administration. It competes for the same institutional buyers as GHZ Planners but without the GHZ/VG specialization.
