About Reworc

Make work work.

Our slogan didn't come out of nowhere. It comes from years of work on better products, better services and, above all, better workplaces.

Our story

Where 'Make work work' comes from.

Founders Ilya Devèrs and Eelco Voogd spent the past 25 years building several companies around improving products and services. One theme kept returning: usability, simplicity and effectiveness.

As consultants at large corporates, they spent years working in workplaces that seemed to work against the organisation rather than for it. With their background in redesigning processes and applying smart technology, they examined how those workplaces came to be.

The answer was almost always the same: ad hoc, project-driven, and steered by opinions and glossy visuals, not by facts, researched needs and tested principles. A lot of money and time was lost there, and frustration grew among the most important part of any organisation: its people.

Not opinions and glossy visuals, but facts and people's real needs.

A new approach

In 2012 they designed a different way to make the workplace work: designing and maintaining it through continuous alignment between people's needs and the available real estate. In 2013 that led to Work & People Analytics BV, renamed Reworc in 2021, with the promise Make Work Work (registration no. 1439091).

What we believe

Three convictions that guide everything we do.

Evidence over assumptions

We measure real need and show our work. No gut feel, but figures with source and date.

Populations, not persons

We work with groups, not names. No surveillance of employees: a principle, not an afterthought.

People and real estate

Most tools pick one side. We bring them together, because the answer lies precisely in the match.
