This interview is part of a series in which Dirk Verburg interviews authentic leaders.
Marijn van Faassen is an international HR leader. He studied Business Administration, and, after a successful career in the Financial Services industry, decided to move into Human Resources.
He recently wrote a book about employee engagement titled: 'The art of employee engagement'.
In this interview, I am discussing with Marijn amongst others, why he considers employee engagement to be so important, how organizations can optimize employee engagement in their organizations, why he wrote this book, if he has any tips for people who also have the ambition to write a book, and why he switched from a successful career in Financial Services industry to a career in Human Resources.
