Employee benefits
If an employer would like to arrange supplementary benefits for its employees the possibilities are endless. A jungle of products and a quagmire of legislation then loom up. It must then be quite a pleasant thought if you can rely on specialists who have based their profession on insurable employment conditions.
From inventory and analysis to advice and management. We can also help you to put structures into place, with prevention and with developing education and training for your HR team. And, importantly, Meijers serves many clients in relation to employee benefits. This means you will also gain from our discounts on procurement.
Employee Benefits for you and your employees
Together with our specialists, you create a tailored package of insurable employee benefits that fits your organisation. We assess your obligations as an employer under Dutch law, such as continued salary payments during illness, responsibilities under the Sickness Benefits Act, and financial liability under the Return to Work (Partially Disabled) Regulations (WGA). We also support you in setting up a group pension scheme. And pension communication? We take care of that too—making things easier for you. Our goal: to take as much work off your hands as possible, while ensuring full compliance with legal requirements.
Laurens Drooger, Director of Employee Benefits
Meijers truly puts itself in the client’s shoes. For employers, engaged and high-performing employees are essential—they have a direct impact on productivity and customer satisfaction. In this broad and complex domain, we support and advise employers on structuring employee benefits, arranging insurance, and managing services related to absenteeism and incapacity for work. This is our expertise—and our passion. As a team, we are constantly improving our knowledge and skills to help simplify complex issues for our clients, especially where financial, legal, and human factors come together.
Our services are designed to make processes efficient for everyone involved. Clients value our personal approach, expert advice, hands-on support, and strong, complementary solutions.
Kevin Leuhof, Senior Account Manager Employee Benefits
I began my career in pensions and, with over 25 years of experience in employee benefits, I’ve worked across almost every facet of the field—from absenteeism insurance, private risk coverage, and WIA supplements to disability services, pension communication, and pension plan design. What drives me is helping employers navigate this complex landscape and making it more manageable. With constant changes, it’s easy to lose oversight—so how do you stay in control? That’s the role I take on for our clients. At Meijers, I help organisations stay on course and maintain clarity. Our digital portal is a great example of how we make things easier—providing instant insight into all your employee benefits.
Wibout van der Wees, Senior Account Manager
Meijers is more than just an insurance broker. For me, building strong relationships with clients is at the heart of everything I do. That goes beyond being available—it's about being genuinely involved. I stand alongside professionals who are responsible for navigating complex HR and employee benefits challenges. My focus is on structuring and simplifying administrative processes, giving clients a solid foundation to build on. I truly believe that every organisation benefits from that stability. From there, we work together on protecting and supporting both employees and employers. It all starts with a thorough risk analysis. Together, we assess how to manage risks effectively and ensure that what truly matters—such as disability coverage—is properly insured. I'm often brought in when things seem complex. And while I may not always tell you what you want to hear, I will always tell you what you need to hear.
Erik van der Jagt, Senior Account Manager
After a career as an advisor and manager in banking, I transitioned into pension consultancy in 2011. Since then, I’ve grown into a full-spectrum employee benefits advisor. What drives me is the intersection of income protection for employees and sustainable employability for employers—helping clients make informed, forward-looking decisions. I enjoy translating complex topics into practical, actionable solutions that employers and HR professionals can truly use. My goal is to help organisations design employee benefits that align with both business goals and the real needs of their people. At Meijers, I work closely with clients to bring insight and structure to what often feels like a complex puzzle. I help identify key risks, set priorities, and turn complexity into clarity. My primary focus is on strategic advice regarding WGA and Sickness Benefits (ZW/ERD), though I find myself increasingly drawn to the pension side of our field as well.
