About VitsAll
We believe absenteeism can be predicted. Discover the story behind VitsAll and why we help organisations steer on insight instead of assumptions.
Mission & vision
Understanding, visualising and sustainably reducing absenteeism. That is what we work on every day.
In concrete terms: helping organisations reduce absenteeism with a data-driven approach.
Our mission
Preventing absenteeism instead of repairing it
At VitsAll we see people as the engine of every organisation. Yet most organisations only discover what was going on when it shows in the absenteeism figures, when it is already too late. Our mission is to turn that around. With data, substantiated with TNO, we show per target group where risks arise, before they become absenteeism. As a regional partner we then help turn those insights into policy that lasts.
“One partner, from insight to lasting results.”
Our vision
Absenteeism as a board-level choice
We believe sustainable employability is not a stand-alone HR initiative, but a choice that belongs at the board table and in the annual plan. Organisations that steer on data instead of assumptions invest more precisely, keep their people employable and see the results. We want to be the standard for data-driven absenteeism policy in the Netherlands.
“From a one-off measurement to lasting policy.”

The founders of VitsAll
Together we help organisations get a grip on absenteeism, with data as the starting point.
Sabine Bakkum
Founder & CEO
Former elite gymnast and Dutch champion. Translates the discipline and preventive mindset of elite sport into data-driven absenteeism policy for organisations.
Alex van Westrenen
Chief Operating Officer
Takes care of operations and tight execution of every programme, from the Risk scan to the collaboration with our partners.
Where it all began
VitsAll was founded from a passion for sports and vitality. Sabine Bakkum, the founder, was an elite gymnast until she was 18. At a young age, she already understood how important physical vitality and mental resilience are, not only to perform optimally, but also to prioritize your own health.
Despite her many injuries, she became Dutch champion and trained at the home base of TeamNL. From these experiences, she now inspires others as a founder, together with her team, to get moving, both physically and mentally.
Those years taught her one thing: you prevent an injury rather than repair it afterwards. That is exactly the principle VitsAll brings to organisations. Together with co-founder Alex, she helps organisations know where risks arise, before they turn into absence.
What we stand for
Our core values
Five principles that determine how we work, with clients, partners and each other.
People first
Employees are the engine of your organisation. Everything we measure and do starts with them.
Insight before action
First know what is going on, then invest. No interventions on gut feeling.
Activation over motivation
Motivation fades, behaviour stays. We make sure employees actually get moving.
Scientifically substantiated
Our approach rests on TNO methodology and a benchmark of 15,000+ measurements.
Structural impact
Not a one-off action, but policy in cycles that delivers measurable results.
