What exactly is Huursterk?

Huursterk is a preventive housing-stress provision for employers. Employees get early clarity, confidence and grip around their housing situation. Employers receive only group insight, never individual case information.

Does HR see individual answers or files?

No. HR and managers see no individual answers, no names, no documents and no conversation content.

Does this steer employees towards legal steps?

No. Huursterk is designed to reduce uncertainty early. Often explanation, timing and a calm next step are enough. A procedure is never the starting point.

Does this create extra work for HR or managers?

No. Huursterk is specifically meant to avoid extra HR caseload. HR facilitates access; Huursterk handles the check, any conversations and the group insight.

Is participation mandatory for employees?

No. Participation is voluntary. Employees decide for themselves whether they complete the check and whether they want extra support.

What exactly does a manager see?

No individual housing information. Only aggregated trends and themes at sufficient group size.

Does this fit alongside an EAP or occupational health service?

Yes. Huursterk complements existing provisions where housing uncertainty is the source of stress, not only the way someone copes with it.

Which employees is this most relevant for?

Employees in the rental market, especially starters, young professionals, international employees and employees in urban regions.

How does Huursterk safeguard privacy?

Through minimal data processing, clear information upfront, separated roles and reporting at group level. The employer never receives individual results.

What happens if something urgent is going on?

Then an employee can schedule a confidential check-in sooner. Even then, the content stays out of the employer's view unless the employee decides to share something.
