NVP – the Dutch Network for HR-Professionals

General information

The Dutch Network for HR-Professionals (NVP) is the network for human resource professionals who are engaged in issues such as HR strategy, employment relationships, recruitment and selection, rewards systems, conditions of employment and training plans. It was founded on 28 January, 1965. We currently have approx. 2,000 members.

The NVP’s main objectives are to help determine and defend values and standards in the field of HR, to have an important say in the development of new social legislation, to set codes of conduct regarding HR, to meet professional training needs and to improve industrial relations in general.

Interest sections and regional branches

We attach great importance to our regional communities. There are eight in total and they offer you a wealth of theme and network meetings, workshops, congresses and other professional activities. All with a pleasant travel time, always with high quality and sometimes with a local touch.

Some themes deserve our broad attention. Because they are undergoing rapid development, influencing the profession and / or many HR professionals are directly affected. We currently have three Specials communities: Young Professionals, International and Self-employed.

Together with one or more of our Local communities, they organize theme meetings, workshops, congresses and other professional activities.

Meetings

The NVP meetings are the ideal way to meet colleagues and become efficiently informed on issues in daily practice. Each interest sector and regional branch plans several afternoon and evening meetings on current topics for each year, which may be attended either free of charge or for a small fee. All told these meetings total 75 annually! In addition, the National Bureau organises refresher sessions and workshops. NVP’s two-weekly digital newsletter, “NVP E-Zine” keeps you informed on current meetings, courses, job offers and vacancies.
