HR consultancy: the team
Dirk Heirman
Dirk founded DHR Partners in 2018 based on the motivation to use his years of experience as a Compensation and Benefits specialist to help large and small companies by offering tailor-made total reward services.
At the age of 24, Dirk started his career in Compensation and Benefits at Hewitt CBC (now acquired by AON) and worked for more than 25 years for various national and international organizations. He worked at General Motors and afterwards at Johnson & Johnson where he was responsible for the remuneration policy of all Pharma R&D companies, with employees in 47 countries. As C&B Director at Delhaize, he was not only responsible for Compensation & Benefits, but also for Payroll, HR Administration, HRIS, HR Analytics, Social Legal and General Services. He managed a team of 83 employees and about 20 external consultants. After the merger with Ahold, he took up a position at AholdDelhaize group level as responsible for Benefits and pensions.
His experience combined with his honest character and his analytical and out-of-the-box thinking make Dirk adept at Reward Management. He will therefore work with you to build a new vision and strategy around remuneration with great dedication and play an active role in the social relations within the organization.
