Daphne Braal new director of Werkse!

Daphne Braal started on February 1 as general manager at Werkse! on 1 February. She will succeed Cor van der Wel, who will step down after eight years as director to focus on new challenges.

Braal has earned her stripes in various administrative positions within the government and social organisations. For example, she was chair of the board of housing corporation Vidomes in Delft for eight years. Her vision on participating in society, her strategic insight and experience with innovative partnerships make her ideally suited to further develop Werkse! as an expert in the inclusive labour market.

“What an honour to become the new general manager of Werkse! from 1 February. A wonderful organisation with passionate colleagues who are committed to further developing the residents of Delft, supporting them in finding work and allowing their talents to flourish. It is great that I can continue to work on important social themes such as improving the security of existence and the well-being of residents. I look forward to working with my new colleagues, the municipality of Delft, the employer network and all social partners who are important to realizing the mission of Werkse!. The real, meaningful personal contact is what I like in the collaboration and what touches me as a person. I hope to find that in abundance in this new job.”
