My name is Lysberth Wassenaar (Liesbet), an onboarding specialist with over 10 years of HR experience. I design strategic onboarding programs that ensure a strong start for new hires and managers.
Over the years, I’ve helped many organizations find great people, but I kept seeing the same pattern: a lot of effort goes into hiring, while far less goes into helping new employees feel welcome, supported, and ready to succeed. That’s a missed opportunity.
I believe onboarding shouldn’t be an afterthought but a strong beginning. When it’s done well, joining a company becomes more than a transaction. It becomes the start of a meaningful connection. Because I see the huge potential in this space, I decided to dedicate myself as an onboarding specialist. I help organizations shape successful transitions so new hires feel confident, engaged, and eager to stay.
My approach is human‑centered and pragmatic, focused on what new hires, managers, and HR teams actually need to make onboarding work in practice. I aim for clarity, connection, and long‑term impact, while staying flexible and tailoring every element to your organization’s context. And because I build each program together with your people, it earns genuine buy‑in.
