Grow your business by growing your people

Flexible People & Culture support for creative businesses

Your business was built on a passion for creativity. But as your business grows, so does the complexity of managing your people.

From HR questions and sick leave to difficult conversations, performance and employee wellbeing, The Worklife Balance helps creative businesses like yours handle the people stuff, through hands-on HR support, coaching and training.

So you save time, energy and resources, your people get the support they need, and you can focus on running your business without having to hire a full-time HR person.

Discover services

You care about your people but miss time, knowledge or resources.

If this sounds familiar:

  • Someone is off sick and you’re not sure what you should (or shouldn’t) do.

  • A team member is struggling, and you’re suddenly having conversations you don’t feel equipped for.

  • You’re growing, but your HR processes haven’t grown with you.

  • You’re spending too much founder time on contracts, policies, performance issues and employee questions.

  • Your managers are great at their jobs, but weren’t exactly trained to manage people.

  • You want to support your team properly, but can’t hire a full-time HR person (yet).

The Worklife Balance gets this off your plate.

Bigger changes

Worklife Roadmap

Analyse & Fix

HR

  • Companies with a specific question like high turnover, low engagement, recurring conflict, who want to understand the real cause before throwing solutions at it.

    Or companies who simply want a check on where things stand today. To find out what goes well and what could be improved.

  • What it is
    A three-phase program (see below). Start with phase 1 alone, or line up all three from the start.

    What you get

    • Phase 1: The deep dive
      The method adapts to your question: a questionnaire, interviews with your team, a document review, or a mix, whatever gets us a real answer to what you're dealing with. Within three weeks, you get a clear report: what's working, what's at risk, and the quick wins you can act on immediately.

    • Phase 2: Implementation
      Depending on what phase 1 uncovers, we can actually start working on it. The implementation phase runs through Worklife wallet hours, ongoing HR hotline support, or dedicated interim time, depending on how much and how intensive the support needs to be.

    • Phase 3: Maintain
      Once things are running well, a periodic check-in makes sure it stays that way, instead of slipping back to where you started.

    Good to know
    Get in touch to talk through your situation, we'll scope which phases make sense before anything starts.

  • Use this when you are looking for:

    • A scan on how thing are currently going in your company

    • and/or

    • Answers to structural issues you can feel but can't quite name yet, or a problem that keeps coming back no matter what you try

    • A real diagnosis before a real fix

    • A clear report with concrete quick wins, not just an opinion

    • An audit or health check, but from a partner who also helps you act on what it finds, not just a report and a goodbye

    • A structured path from research to results to staying on track: the most thorough option on this page

  • Marijke van den Bosch

    MANAGING DIRECTOR EVENTIM

    MT off-site

    De MT-sessie met Juliette was ontzettend waardevol. In één dag waren we weer scherp en aligned, wat merkbaar was in de energie, focus en onderlinge verbinding. Haar aanpak is hands-on, interactief en direct toepasbaar, en ook gewoon leuk en verfrissend om te ervaren. Het leverde ons niet alleen scherpte en richting op, maar ook nieuwe energie en vertrouwen. Absoluut een aanrader.

  • Pia Morency

    TALENT PARTNER, APADMI

    HR Project

    It was a pleasure working with Juliette. She impressed with her organisation, professionalism, and understanding of HR processes. She delivered high-quality work and showed a genuine commitment. She quickly became an integral part of the team, fitting into our culture. Her proactive approach and ability to collaborate effectively made a noticeable positive impact on our projects. I’d love the chance to work with her again in the future!

  • Vera van Veen

    FOUNDER, BURO BAGSY

    Coaching & Confidential Advisor

    Juliette schakelt snel en heeft al veel voor ons (team) kunnen betekenen als vaste bedrijfspsycholoog! Ze heeft veel kennis van psychologie en wat ik bijzonder waardeer is haar veelzijdigheid, pragmatische aanpak en scherpe inzicht in onze organisatie. Hierdoor weet ze precies waar ze het verschil kan maken. Empatisch, toegankelijk en altijd bereid om te helpen: dat is hoe ik haar zou omschrijven. Absoluut aan te bevelen dus.

  • Rik Ledder

    CEO, TBWA\NEBOKO

    People & Culture

    Juliette geeft anderen het gevoel hun vragen, zaken of problemen serieus te nemen en laat dit zien door er altijd op terug te komen en uitgebreid te antwoorden. Dat stelt mensen gerust. Dat vertrouwen is super waardevol en maakt haar een vertrouwenspersoon voor iedereen. Naast dat ze werknemers coachte, heeft ze onze People & Culture afdeling van scratch af aan opgebouwd. Ze heeft haar credits op dit gebied zeker verdiend.
