We help these organizations toward greater vitality:
How would it feel if for once you didn't have to carry the whole world?
You became an executive for a reason. You possess unique qualities that allow you to give direction to your organization or team. You understand what taking responsibility means and possess enough analytical ability to perpetuate the future. You possess vision, you can inspire. Under your leadership, the business would run itself so that you could enjoy more of your well-earned income.
But nothing could be further from the truth: you are mostly busy putting out fires. Your phone is red hot, the calendar and mailbox are packed, and the door is regularly knocked down. You know and feel that there never comes a time when your to-do list is finished; relaxation does not come naturally. You live from vacation to vacation, because in between you always have to be on (and honestly: often even during your vacation). And how unnatural does it feel to demand just after someone tells you what is currently going on in his/her life that someone does run their production?
You want to give everyone the best of yourself, but also feel that taking care of everyone is starting to take a toll on your own peace and (work) enjoyment.
How nice would it be if ...
- You can go to bed without an RI&E analysis of the coming day/week
- You can go on vacation without having to secretly keep an eye on your phone
- You can come home and your attention is undivided with your partner, kids or friends
- You can stand up without pressure on your chest or heaviness on your shoulders
- You can drink your cup of coffee in peace, knowing that things will turn themselves around
- You can walk around the workplace having relaxed conversations instead of watching your to-do list grow
- Your people themselves come up with initiatives and out-of-the-box solutions.
- Your people come to you when they really need you, because they've already taken care of the essentials themselves
When the little voices “am I doing enough?” “haven’t I missed anything?” “if things go wrong it’s my fault” fall silent for once.
Share your concern
You know full well that your people function better when they are comfortable in their own skin. Did you know that there is even a direct relationship between chronically elevated stress levels and the deterioration of your higher cognitive functions (including planning, organizing, maintaining an overview, resolution skills, nuance, self-discipline)?
Allow yourself peace of mind and job satisfaction through a well-functioning organization. We support you in the well-being of your people and work culture so that they can use their skills to their best advantage. Through deployment of The SatisFactory project:
- Are people more comfortable in their own skin
- Do they report sick less often
- Are they more productive
- Are fewer mistakes made
- Do people feel more loyal to you as an employer ("that they will do this for me")
- Save your money: long-term sick leave costs much more than you might think. Consider such things as continued payroll, replacement, rising premium costs, reintegration counseling and loss of productivity before, during and after the absence.
Get out of the “always-on” mode, get back to doing what you started leading for in the first place.

We are The SatisFactory Project
A collective of university-trained behavioral scientists who all believe in promoting health rather than removing symptoms after the fact. Prevention is better than cure, for both the organization and your people.
In 2019, I, Iris Bergwerff-van der Giessen, set up TSFP because I felt a distance from the prevailing view of mental illness in every place I worked. I don’t believe that mental illness should always be labeled. I don’t believe a treatment is successful if the symptoms are gone.
I believe that each of us gets (psychological) symptoms when you do not live in line with your most important values. When you allow yourself to be guided primarily by an external compass (what (you think) others expect of you, what you have been taught that belongs), your energy can’t help but leak out drop by drop. To the point that your body becomes fatigued, the stress system cannot be inhibited and your brain shuts down.
Now if we can avoid that, we can fully utilize everyone’s qualities, skills and passion. Then we can again connect Instead of covering ourselves. Then we can learn from each other, rather than competing with each other. Then we can motivate each other to make it getting the best out of ourselves from passion, rather than from performance pressure.
Compare it to a tree: a tree with a good root system produces the most beautiful fruit because it can absorb nutrition optimally. It works the same way for your people: if they have a good root system (read: have their values clear), then they will deliver the finest performance.
We take care of the roots, you reap the benefits!
