You create internal support for the development, optimization and implementation of the ES, and (new) services, policies and processes and for the customer satisfaction surveu (CSS). The measurements for both need to be developed (. The relationship to HR Analytics can then be made to gain insight into whether we are pushing the right buttons with our HR agenda.

You will work from the office and from home and have a lot of autonomy in the execution and planning of your work.
