Who are we?
EISSENS HR & LEGAL
Eissens HR & Legal is an initiative of Geert Jan Eissens. His consultancy firm (advisory practice) operates at the interfaces of HR and Legal. Many clients are growing, or lean and mean organisations, which means full HR & Legal support is lacking or limited. We support organisations to make them grow successfully and sustainably. Our philosophy is based on ‘adding value’ and ‘doing the necessary’.
Our working method is characterized by our knowledge and affinity with the business (growth phase, sector, product/market mix), the right expertise of the HR issue or employment law playing field and the pragmatism we strive for. Always focused on a ‘win-win’ outcome, constructive and de-escalating.
In different areas, such as Recruitment, Coaching, Training, as well as law firms and ARBO services, Eissens HR & Legal works together with experienced partners. At Eissens HR & Legal, the business and the client take centre stage. Our style of cooperation and advice is characterised by a pragmatic approach aimed at a realistic and solution-oriented outcome. Preventing long-term absence , employment conflict, or unmotivated employees is many times better than cleaning up debris. Timely intervention can save a lot of money, time and job happiness.
