Mike, HR Manager

‘OTYS Recruiting Technology has been working with the Staan Academy for some time now. We have followed several in-house Lean courses with multiple groups. The participants were very satisfied with the practical and personal approach. All participants achieved their certificate. What we liked most is the flexibility and personal contact with the Staan Academy. If more training is required in the future we will certainly involve the Staan Academy in this’.

‘Recently I enjoyed the Lean for Financial Course by the Staan Finance Academy. Jeroen and Pieter challenged our class every week with financial cases and shared their own experiences within corporates and financial services. As part of the course, I discovered several ways to tackle the rising burn rate in these challenging months. Now I finished the course as a true Greenbelt, I cannot wait to improve my organisation further‘.
