Embracing the new future of work
Today, organisations are dealing with a rapidly changing world and evolving employee needs. At Veldhoen + Company, we join our clients on their journey towards a better world of work, developing new ways of working tailored to their businesses, encouraging teams to connect, individuals to flourish, and organisations to thrive.
We believe businesses and individuals have different needs. This is why we go beyond the latest trends to create custom solutions according to each organisation’s vision and needs. As we shift towards hybrid ways of working, an organisation’s success will be dependent on its ability to integrate the right facilities and resources across its culture, technological tools and the physical environment. With over 30 years of experience helping over 500 organisations around the world redefine the way they work, we have a unique understanding of co-creating successful workplace strategies to help companies prepare for challenges and opportunities in the future of work.

Client Testimonials

Vince Hawksworth Trust | CEO
"The way we live in this building is the way our customers live in their homes. Because we are an ISP we are actually living how we expect people to be using the technology they are purchasing"
-
Marilyn Jongenelen Stedelijk Museum Breda | Business Director
"We are satisfied with the approach and working method of the office when it comes to advising about hybrid working/activity-based working.

Okan Isikci MSD - Levant | Managing Director
"The impact has been really tremendous. The Middle Eastern people always had warmth, hospitality, connection between each other. But in the office that we moved into, this has been increased even more. You see a connected workforce. It brings people closer to each other. It takes out the layers between the management team, to the representatives, to the assistants, to the facility workers… It just creates a positive mood to be in the office"
