Top-level sports in the workplace — not a metaphor, but our background

Employcare was founded by Michiel ten Haken and Leon Braunstahl. From their experience in elite sports and healthcare, they saw the same pattern repeatedly: absenteeism is rarely random and almost always preventable.

Why Employcare?

In elite sports, everything is continuously measured, analyzed, and adjusted. In the workplace, this is rarely the case. There are isolated interventions, measurements without follow-up, and little control over what truly drives performance and absenteeism.

We wanted to change that. Employcare translates elite sports principles into organizations—practical, measurable, and with real guidance at its core.
