Huize Walden is a warm care organisation for people with care needs. With its location in the shadow of the abbey of Westmalle, the organisation offers a comprehensive range of quality care tailored to individual needs. A project was launched for Huize Walden to develop job descriptions.
In the words of the customer
As part of the further growth of our organisation, we felt it was important to create job descriptions for the various positions. In this way, we wanted to create more direction, consistency, and clarity for both the organisation and the employees.
Because this is an important item within our personnel policy and requires expertise and time on the other hand, we have enlisted the help of attendo for this purpose.

This is how we tackled it
attendo coordinated, developed and implemented the project from start to finish. Specifically, through an intake conversation we mapped out the entire project and together developed a step-by-step plan.
By outlining a clear picture of the purpose of the function, the responsibilities and expectations regarding job content and competencies, this provided us with additional insights and opportunities. Throughout the process, the employees and managers also had the opportunity to participate, which resulted in high engagement and the achievement of the intended results.
What it yielded
The project has yielded a positive result for us.
Both for employees and managers, the job descriptions provide guidance, insight and transparency. They form the guiding principles for internal career discussions, coaching, personal growth programmes and collaboration. Development needs can now be clearly identified and, if necessary, adjustment programmes can be initiated.
The job descriptions are also used in internal and external recruitment procedures. It provides both the organisation and the candidate with clear insights regarding a possible match. In short: it simplifies many conversations, processes, and communication and ensures that the organisation can continue to grow in terms of potential and talent development.
For us, attendo is a professional, pleasant, high-quality and reliable partner. Through their personal approach, they have very well understood our vision, values and culture and have been able to carry this forward throughout the entire process.
