| I have come to know Margriet as an enthusiastic and dedicated coach. She is able to get to the heart of the problem very quickly and put you on the right track. In addition you get many practical tips. I have benefited a great deal from my series of coaching sessions with Margriet and notice this in all aspects of my work. I also hear this from the people around me. In my work in P&O I won't hesitate to engage Margriet for series of coaching sessions for my fellow employees.

| "Margriet Guiver Freeman is a top senior and experienced manager and adviser on C-Suite level. Although she's a specialist in HR, her actions often reach out far beyond this area and impact the heart and culture of the organisation (change management). Her strong points are the combination of theory, insights and years of (international) practice that translate in strong practical and 'hands on' actions and advice. She has a fast and sharp pen, which makes her a good writer and communicator. Keywords are: involved, committed, persistent, straight." Jos Berkemeijer, Market leader, Mercer |

||
| “Margriet is an excellent manager who contributes to the total HR process. During my time as an intern at Mercer HRC she coached me as much as she could, during her busy schedule. This helped me to develop and correct the mistakes that you make as an intern. Due to her open and direct communication methods, regardless of who she's dealing with, she is able to give people new and fresh perspectives. That was the case for me as an intern, but (I suppose) also for the senior management she was dealing with at that time.” Joost van Willigenburg, Intern, Mercer HR Consultancy |
||
| “Margriet was able to mobilise the whole company from the top to the bottom around a culture change programme. All management and professional layers of Tauw, both in The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, were involved in an very intensive individual and collecteve development programme, with huge positive impact on the way the company was managed. Margriet was the kickstarter and driver of this process and kept people on board during this journey, as it often came very close on a personal level to the individuals involved. As Tauw was at that moment a very technical, content-driven company, this process was for many of the individuals involved a radically new experience. This was not the first time that Margriet was able to mobilise a whole company into a collective transformation process. She did this with several companies before in different industries. It is really the strength of Margriet that she has the vision, the impact, the credibility and the know-how to make large transformation processes happen.” Ivo Brughmans, Principal Consultant, PA Consulting Group |
||
| “Margriet Guiver can be characterised as manager of change. She is interested in the principles on which organisations are built or to be built. She sees the interworkings of the system itself and the long- and short-range implications of events which occur and behaviors which people display. As such she has recognised the need for continuous engineering education or life long learning within the consultancy. This has resulted in the predecessor in what is now called the Tauw University. Apart from her profesiional skills, Margriet has an exceptional ability to intuitively understand a person after a very short period of time, and uses her intuition and flexibility to relate to others on their own level.” Joop Okx, research & development, Tauw |
||
| “I have worked with Margriet when she was Director of HR at Tauw BV. On a regular basis we organised development centres for high potentials within the organisation. It was/is a pleasure to work with Margriet because of her knowledge and experience in the field of personal development of peole and because of her personal involvement and pleasant cooperation. She has a broad knowledge of HR issues, a personal interest in people and a flexibel, open approach of situations.” Daisy Helgers, Principal Consultant, Cubiks |
||
| “At Tauw, Margriet has renewed the company focus on HRM. With great enthusiasm and profound to-the-point knowledge, she has developed and implemented competence-based management in the HRM-cycle.” André Doveren, Director Laboratory, Tauw |
||
| "Margriet is […] highly motivated, high internal drive for success and improvement. Strongly developed interpersonal skills and a motivator to the rest of a team." René Lintum, Finance manager, Wincanton Trans European (Nederland) B.V. |
