JobAligner was born from a fascination with the development of organizations, individuals and leadership. The development of the JobAligner work happiness formula runs almost in parallel with the personal challenges and career of founder Menco Erenst. Menco's personal mission is to contribute to an energetic and positive work environment! With JobAligner, he challenges managers and employees to work together respectfully, to make work happiness the standard, and to safeguard a healthy work-life balance.
Work happiness deserves a contemporary and continuous approach. That's why you receive a modern work happiness app from us, delivered in your corporate identity. The work happiness app consists of 5 work happiness modules and is intended for everyone involved within your organization.
This illustrates that self-awareness and a certain degree of vulnerability are important for managers to function well. Menco specialized in leadership training and connected with the philosophy of Brené Brown. Managers are challenged to be vulnerable and look critically at themselves - to lead from empathy and an open heart.
Triggered by a past in which Menco wasn't used to expressing his deepest emotions, it nearly became fatal. A resting heart rate of 150-200 beats per minute for a period of a year forced him to drastically change his lifestyle. From that moment on, he became fascinated by the possibilities of personal development and growth.
Menco felt the time was right to combine the knowledge and experience gained into an Integrated Work Happiness Formula. The reasons? More and more employees experience high work pressure, excessive stress, concentration problems, reduced motivation and sometimes a lack of life happiness. At the same time, the number of burnouts is rising, especially among young employees. Naturally, this development also comes at the expense of productivity. In short: reason enough to make work happiness a top priority. JobAligner was born.

CEO & Founder
I consider it my personal mission to contribute to an energetic and positive work environment! Through JobAligner, I encourage employees and managers to be more aligned in life, to work together respectfully, to safeguard a healthy work-life balance, and to make greater work happiness the standard.
To me, increasing work happiness is synonymous with achieving hard business objectives by paying attention to the human side. And by approaching the theme of Work Happiness both top-down and bottom-up. In other words: optimizing work happiness is a matter for everyone involved.
I believe that a positive mindset, love and self-awareness are the foundations for any form of growth. My motto: let's create a workplace together where work happiness, healthy business results and personal growth are central.
If you want change, be the change!
Chief Information Officer
Why do people always ask, when I travel abroad, whether it's for work or vacation? I never like answering that question, because the answer is always: both. I love what I do so much that I don't draw a line between work and private life. Sure, I'm a programmer... and I can work anywhere. That's true! But it's not about what I do, it's about how it makes me feel. I've found the perfect workplace, where I work with a lot of joy and also get to know myself better.
Okay, but that's not all. I've faced many challenges, such as: setting boundaries, learning to say no, feeling uncomfortable and having little self-confidence. But I'm glad I've been able to overcome my personal challenges. I realize that my work environment and workplace atmosphere have contributed to this. In turn, I'm happy to help employees at other organizations experience an optimal and enjoyable workplace. And you know what's great? JobAligner takes care of that! It literally tackles every problem standing in the way of work happiness.
Work Happiness Ambassador
Over 30 years ago, I took my first steps in the world of staffing at Content Uitzendbureau. There I quickly learned that enjoying your work and appreciating what you do are essential. I worked incredibly hard there, for a low salary, but I learned so much and had so much fun. That experience shaped me, and my passion for work happiness has only grown since.
For six years now, I've been an independent recruiter, and as managing partner at Happy Professionals I help organizations and professionals who take work happiness seriously find each other. I do this from the conviction that work happiness not only boosts performance but also creates a healthier and more positive work environment.
When Menco and his JobAligner app crossed my path, I was immediately enthusiastic. Even though I'm often approached for partnerships, this app struck a chord right away. It's the perfect tool to make work happiness concrete in organizations that hold it in high regard. I'm proud to be able to introduce this amazing work happiness app, as an ambassador, to companies that - like me - believe in the power of happy employees.
