Staatvandienst joins the Colbe network 
Utrecht, 27 May 2026 – Colbe is expanding its network with the addition of Staatvandienst, Staatvandienst AD and Moedigh. Following its number one position in occupational health and wellbeing services, this collaboration now makes Colbe the market leader in career guidance as well.
This expansion is a natural next step within the Colbe network’s Work Wellbeing proposition. By adding the specialist expertise and strong regional presence of these three brands, Colbe is able to offer organisations and employees a more comprehensive range of services focused on career development, mobility and sustainable employability.
Bas Tomassen, CEO of Colbe:
“Due to an ageing workforce, labour shortages and rapid technological developments, the labour market is under increasing pressure. It is important for organisations that employees continue to develop and remain adaptable in a changing work environment. This is essential to staying healthy, engaged and productive at work, while also helping to prevent absenteeism. With the addition of Staatvandienst, Staatvandienst AD and Moedigh, we are expanding our capabilities to optimally support employers and employees in this area.”
Johan Hofstede, Director of Staatvandienst:
“After 20 years, the circle is complete. We are building on a strong foundation while preserving our identity, our vision on people and work, and embracing new opportunities through the strength of the Colbe network. Together, we are stronger and can better support agile careers, agile organisations, and ultimately reinforce the value of work.”
