As HR adviser, Gwenn Bakker van den Ouweland is responsible for providing services in the field of Personnel and Payroll at Borrie. Besides financial and tax advice, Borrie has the knowledge and skills to provide complementary support in the payroll and personnel administration of clients. Knowing that personnel costs are always a major expense item, Gwenn enthusiastically dives into various HR issues for clients such as absenteeism guidance and reintegration or the documentation surrounding the bound legal laws and regulations. Support in HR projects, such as drafting a staff handbook, (re)writing an absenteeism protocol or setting up or renewing the assessment system, are a daily part of her tasks.
The variation of the different collective labour agreements of companies in various industries makes her profession always fascinating and interesting. For entrepreneurs, doing business is often the core business but the human side in terms of personnel is sometimes quite complicated and that is where the challenge lies for Gwenn.
Internally, she actively engages with the team of professionals to create support for all the specific HR opportunities Borrie now offers. She finds it important that Borrie remains an attractive and good employer. You are not a number at Borrie; there is always room for personal growth, both in the business and personal fields. For that, it is relevant to design your working environment in such a way that there is enough room for a good work-life balance so that personal goals can also be pursued at your own pace. In this regard, Gwenn notes that there is plenty of time for other fun things besides work at Borrie.
