Our story
Marieke Hermans founded Two Ears in 2022. As a consultant, and later as a director of fast-growing companies, she saw how much a safe work environment matters: when people feel free to speak up, ask questions and talk about mistakes, there is room for collaboration and growth.
Today, Two Ears has a dedicated team of experienced confidential counsellors and supports organisations more broadly in building a safe work environment.
What we stand for
The name Two Ears stands for genuine attention: listening carefully first, without judging and without taking over. At the same time, we work professionally and with care. We know the limits of our role, protect confidentiality and stay independent of the organisation.
A safe work environment takes more than policy. It takes employees who feel safe to raise concerns, managers who pick up on warning signs, and clear agreements about who does what. With anonymised insights and trends, we help HR and management make lasting improvements.
‘Her commitment, personal attention and approachable style make the collaboration professional, valuable and pleasant.’
Extra expertise when needed
Some situations call for different expertise, such as a complaint investigation, mediation or support for an employee facing a complaint. For these, we work with experienced professionals, while Two Ears remains your point of contact.
