Paul Jansen
Paul started off in the hierarchies and practices of international banking, first in his native Netherlands and from 1997 in the London City. A sabbatical made him decide to change direction, to helping organisations create the right environment for their people on the frontline to do the right thing.
He led and created several employee-owned social enterprises and not-for-profit organisations in health, mental health and social care, mostly former public sector services. Three years at Buurtzorg Britain & Ireland saw him introduce their world-famous care model of self-managed teams in the UK.
In 2020 he created Trust Works, which delivers interactive, fun and thought-provoking programmes to organisations who want to learn about self-management, empowerment and autonomy. Paul continues to support organisations in finding innovative ways of working that are suited to today’s hybrid times and are in tune with the aspirations of employers and staff.
