The SOLIDES Culture

At SOLIDES, we work hard, but with just as much fun! Our culture is all about transparency, consistency and ownership, but above all about real collaboration. Openness and honesty are key, allowing us to have the real conversation and build long-term relationships.

 

We share our knowledge and expertise weekly, learn from each other and grant each other success. Everyone feels free to ask questions, be vulnerable and get better  together. Experienced and young talent come together - in an equal atmosphere - just people strengthening each other.

And, of course, relaxation! We end our meetings with drinks, tasty snacks and relaxed conversation. At SOLIDES, pleasure and comfort go hand in hand, both in business and in private. This makes working together at SOLIDES not only valuable, but also fun!


Our Team

Astrid de Koning

Astrid de Koning

Position Founder

Quote: "An organisation is only solid when everyone knows how it 'works' and feels heard and valued. Frank conversations about the 'hard' and 'soft' sides of HR go hand in hand. I am the sparring partner who brings structure and has an eye for the people who work there."

Free time: "Our 3 children are now grown up, but when they are back home, I cherish these moments together with my husband. You can also find me on the tennis court or playing golf with friends. I spend most of my free time playing sport, socialising with family and friends, having a nice dinner, a glass of wine or going to a party - anything that gives me energy and makes life fun!"

Eveline Kroon

Eveline Kroon

Position Co-Founder

Quote: "HR is not a static process, but a dynamic system in which everything is interconnected. It starts with solid data and processes, but the real power lies in how they are used to make the organisation agile and future-proof. By making processes smart and truly empowering people, we create an organisation that achieves its goals not just today, but tomorrow."

Free time: "I prefer to spend my free time with my young family. I also enjoy dinner with friends and long walks in the woods or along the beach. I also find that sport is a great way to recharge my batteries so that I can continue to work full of fresh ideas."

Position Co-Founder

Quote: "For me, HR is more than a profession: it is a unifying and indispensable factor within organisations. By working together with all levels of the organisation, I strive for sustainable growth and success for all."

Free time: "In my spare time, I like to be active. You can regularly find me on the yoga mat, the tennis court or the gym. I love music, dancing and going to festivals. I like to enjoy life with my family and friends. Eating good food together, travelling or being near the water. But I also like to go for a walk or crawl on the sofa with a book."

Position Co-Founder

Quote: "When business and HR work together on the basis of mutual trust and respect for each other's expertise, the result is a balanced working environment in which people give their best. This leads to maximum results for the organisation. I help you to create a stimulating working environment".

Free time "Now that our children have flown out and are enjoying student life, I make more time for sports (hockey, running and fitness). My husband and I enjoy going out to dinner, the theatre or a weekend away. When the children come home, I really enjoy cooking for them and eating together. The same goes for having friends over. Just give me a table full of nice people who are in the mood for good food and socialising, and I am in my element."

Reliable, Experienced and Always United!
