At Human in Progress, we provide HR governance and compliance consulting for international organisations operating in the Netherlands. We work with leadership teams and HR functions headquartered across the EU, UK, USA, Australia, and beyond.

Our focus is not traditional People & Culture Consulting. We support organisations in establishing clear, structured, and compliant HR ways of working, ensuring people decisions can be executed consistently and defended when challenged.

Where legal interpretation is required, we work alongside Dutch employment law specialists to ensure alignment with applicable employment and participation requirements.

Lean Six Sigma in HR

We apply Lean principles to HR governance and execution, focusing on clarity, consistency, and risk reduction. The objective is not optimisation for its own sake, but reliable and repeatable HR processes that support compliant decision-making.

This approach removes unnecessary complexity and supports HR teams and managers in making consistent decisions aligned with organisational priorities and regulatory requirements.

We review and structure HR policies and procedures to ensure they can be applied consistently across countries, while meeting Dutch legal and Works Council requirements. We review and structure HR policies and procedures to ensure they can be applied consistently across countries.
