What the founder has to say

“We are convinced happy employees are an employer’s best asset. Employees are more efficient when working in a hybrid system. Our preliminary research indicated that many employees prefer hybrid working models, but many companies are not yet able to facilitate that need. By structuring these employee benefits in the best possible way, we help HR departments and facility managers to recruit and retain talented staff,” said Michiel Meyer, CEO and co-founder at Workwize.

What the investor has to say

“Workwize is tapping into the current international hybrid working trend. Not only does the company offer a marketplace, but it also provides smart software to facilitate hybrid working. The combined platform has the potential to capture the full value chain of hybrid working. The Workwize team has clearly outlined their ideas about the future of working and is very driven to achieve its goals. Those elements combined are what convinced us to invest in the company,” said Thijs Dijkman, Investment Manager at Peak.
