Case: RANDSTAD GROUP
Human-Centered HR Approach
How can we stimulate a human-centred attitude within Randstad to optimize client relationships?
Randstad brings clients back in the spotlight by opening The Kitchen, a creative space where employees can experiment with various ingredients to optimise the customer experience. Cooperation with DesignThinkers led to a solid foundation for a tailor-made training programme, including toolkit, followed by a long-term strategy and coaching on the job.

Methodology
How can we stimulate a human-centred attitude within Randstad to optimize client relationships? The Kitchen is a physical creative space focused on experimenting with the various ingredients in the customer experience. The goal of the kitchen is to stimulate a
human-centered attitude, one which should enable Randstad employees to get easily in contact with their end users. The partnership with DTA led to the development of three elements that established a foundation for innovation in the kitchen.

Randstad Driven Innovation
DesignThinkers Academy worked together with Randstad Group by providing intrinsic and process-related support. Ultimately, to help Randstad Group to launch The Kitchen. DTA prepared Randstad employees to act as facilitators via train-the-trainer sessions. These sessions involved employees from various departments and teams, including IT, sales, marketing, front office and support. The tactic is to make Human-Centered Facilitators of the already active change managers and project managers within the Randstad Group.
