We like to introduce our colleagues to you. In this interview we introduce Cherelle, People Operations Specialist at STROOM.
Who are you?
Hi, I am Cherelle Klijnzoon, 32 years old and born and raised in Amsterdam. I am in a relationship, but am not living together yet and don't have kids yet either, although I do have a very cute dog!
Since July 1, I have been People Operations Specialist for STROOM and others .
How do you fill your position at STROOM?
I try to be visible (literally and figuratively) to the team, making sure that people do not feel a barrier to step up to HR.
Here good communication and expectation management is very important. Furthermore, I make sure that all (daily) HR processes run smoothly, the administration is in order and I try to advise the MT as well as possible.
What did you do for this?
I studied HRM at the HvA. Prior to this I worked in various HR roles at both international and national, small and large organizations and thus gained many different experiences and learned a lot about the HR profession and myself.
What are your growth aspirations?
I hope to set up more and more great projects within the HR profession and within STROOM , improve processes and myself.
What energizes you in your work?
Helping, supporting and advising colleagues. Having everything in order administratively (ticking off to do tasks), setting up a new project together with colleagues and achieving positive results. Building a nice relationship with the team and colleagues is also very important to me.
What do you get energy from in your free time?
I am a social person, so by meeting up with family, friends and girlfriends a lot. I also enjoy eating out, dancing at a festival or hiking with a podcast on. Furthermore, music plays a big role in my daily life.
What is your favorite meal?
Fortunately, I love almost all cuisines except Dutch!
What is your favorite type of vacation? And vacation country?
A mix of relaxing and being active. A little culture, some hiking, but also chilling on a beach or by a pool and eating out. Spanish Ibiza is surely my favorite vacation island.
What is your favorite sport?
Yoga and pilates to do yourself and soccer to watch.
What medium are you most a fan of?
Fan I wouldn't say, but I do check Instagram regularly. I love memes and photos/movies of dogs.
What is your favorite quote?
"Don't die before you have lived."
