  HR Officer

  I started my career with an internship at Sara Lee / Douwe Egberts. I stayed. In the beginning I worked on projects related to internal communication, employer branding and employee relations (Work Life Balance, Global Business Standards). After a while I started recruiting white collar workers in Mkt/Sales/Finance/Supply Chain and finally I became HR Officer. At that time I combined all tasks described above and I also supported on the talent development and performance management programs. It was an interesting period because I experienced how Douwe Egberts became Sara Lee. Show less
