Henk’s business card
Henk’s image represents a waste bin:" if organizations do not pay adequate attention to internal communication, valuable ideas and initiatives are not fully exploited or even ignored. I believe in putting employees at the heart of organizations internal communication, that results in involvement and enthousiasm. In turn that benefits the entire organization".
