I am a member of our flex team, while other IT colleagues work specifically on one of our tools. The possibility to find out, for ourselves, what type of work matches our own preferences and abilities is one of the main reasons I love this job and team. And when I say ‘team’, I really mean that we are a team: my colleagues are experts in what they do, and all of us are always willing to pick one another’s brains.

Back Office is the vital linchpin for the whole R&D department. As a team, we enable our consultants to focus on their content-related tasks, and we are the grease that makes R&D run smoothly. For me, specifically, this means planning and organising training sessions for our own Hudson colleagues, as well as for external clients.

During my first two years, I worked as a writer of simulation exercises. My job today is nothing like it was then: I now work in a coordinating and supporting role for a number of our products, one of which is our Tools for Talent platform. What I really value above all else is being able to work in an environment that allows people to be themselves and encourages them to tap into their full potential. On top of that, these colleagues are also just really fun to hang out with outside of work.

Developing test items and analysing data was what piqued my interest in joining the department, it was not long before I also became actively involved in researching the topics of Diversity, Equality & Inclusion. It is very encouraging when your interest in a specific topic is recognised and valued. Moreover, it feels really rewarding to me that, as a team, we are facilitated to be able to deliver high-quality output.

I am delighted to be part of a smoothly running support team. This allows each of us to work on side projects alongside to our Customer Service work. By alternating between deep work and handling Support tickets, we can maintain a fresh perspective and a customer-oriented mindset. These factors contribute to providing our customers with excellent service, which in turn leads to pleasant contacts and interactions with them.

My main goal as a Director is defining and safeguarding a culture of positivity, openness and inclusion. This is something that requires a lot of time, energy and commitment from both me and my management team. However, I believe that over the years we have seen the fruits of this approach: the people here dare to say and be who they are.
