Purpose

Why is this role needed, what need of the organization does it address, or how is it relevant within the organization?

VSHN is special because it’s not an organization with team leads or any other kind of "line organization". The working environment of most employees is characterized and shaped by them, in self-organized teams and roles. There is still the usual administrative work in the HR domain and there are also legally confidential issues and personal matters that either go beyond a team or that the employee does not want to share right away.

We need to ensure that we are not only a lawful but also a great employer, do the needed admin work, take personnel matters seriously and support our VSHNeers in a way that actually helps them and fits in with our work culture.

  • Employer compliance (taxes, insurance, work law, etc.)
