Benefits that work for you: Sven’s story
Let’s face it: the world of work has changed. And so have employee expectations.
At QbD Group, we believe that benefits should adapt to individual needs. Because when people feel supported in ways that truly matter to them, they can do their best work and enjoy life beyond the office too. That’s why “Enjoy numerous benefits” is one of the four pillars of our career framework alongside building a sustainable career, making meaningful connections, and gaining & sharing knowledge.
To bring this to life, let’s zoom in on the story of Sven Dekerk, who works for QbD Group in Belgium. From health support to everyday perks, Sven has experienced first-hand how our benefits make a real difference, both at work and at home.
🧠 A Healthier life with Alan
QbD Group goes well beyond the basics of health insurance. We partner with Alan, a modern digital health insurance platform that covers much more than doctor’s bills. Think: psychologists, dietitians, physiotherapists, osteopaths, and even preventive care.
Sven, an avid sports enthusiast, uses Alan to stay on top of his game:
“I use Alan to consult a dietitian for tailored nutrition advice, and an osteopath when I push myself a bit too hard. It’s reassuring to know that I don’t have to choose between my health and my wallet.”
With easy reimbursements and a user-friendly app, Alan allows employees to take control of their mental and physical wellbeing in ways that actually fit their lifestyle.
Staying active with Alan Play
For someone like Sven, whose job often keeps him glued to a desk, finding the motivation to stay active can be a challenge. That’s where Alan Play comes in, a feature that gamifies walking by turning it into a friendly competition between colleagues. These days, Sven finds himself checking the Alan Play leaderboard more often than his inbox a shift he admits has been surprisingly healthy.
The results speak for themselves: QbD Group colleagues using Alan Play walk nearly three times more per week than the average Belgian worker. It’s a small but powerful reminder that wellbeing doesn’t always require big gestures.
🚴♀️ From biking to padel: everyday wellness
For Sven, wellness isn’t limited to apps or appointments it’s also in the small, daily choices. That’s why he signed up for the B2Bike program, QbD Group’s bike leasing initiative:
“Cycling to work clears my head and saves me time: no traffic jams, no stress. Plus, it’s a win for the planet.”
The bike lease isn’t the only way we encourage movement. From group padel matches to weekly sports sessions, QbD Group promotes a culture where health is a shared priority.

🏡 Flexibility through teleworking
Work-life balance is also about flexibility. At QbD Group in Belgium, employees can telework a couple of days per week, supported with all the professional equipment they need to work from home comfortably and productively.
For Sven, this flexibility makes it easier to tailor his work rhythm to his personal needs, whether that’s focusing deeply at home or enjoying the buzz of the office.
🛍️ Benefits@Work: save while you spend
Let’s be honest life is expensive. That’s why QbD Group also partners with Benefits@Work, offering exclusive employee discounts on everything from big-name retailers to amusement parks.
“It’s one of those ‘invisible’ perks that really add up. I’ve used it for holiday gifts, electronics even restaurant deals. It’s like a little bonus every time you shop.”
🐕 Dogs at work = less stress, more smiles
One of Sven’s favorite perks? Being able to bring his dog to the office.
“I don’t like leaving my dog alone all day, and now I don’t have to. When he’s snoozing under my desk, even a chaotic day feels calmer. Plus, it’s great for team bonding everyone loves a cuddle break.”
Several QbD Group offices are dog-friendly, and it’s not just for fun. Studies show that having dogs in the workplace reduces blood pressure and stress, and boosts morale.

❤️ The sum of many parts
For Sven, the real value of QbD Group’s benefits isn’t in any one perk alone, it’s how they come together to support him as a whole person. From bringing his dog to the office to using digital health tools like Alan, Sven feels genuinely seen and cared for.
“What I love most is how these benefits all work together to support me, not just as an employee, but as a person. It makes me feel valued, and that motivates me to bring my best to work every day,” he shares.
And that’s the key: at QbD Group, benefits are designed to fit different lifestyles and individual choices. Because in the end, everyone’s needs are unique and we want our people to have the freedom to shape their careers and their lives their way.
