SOM is a Belgian employer federation and knowledge center for social enterprises operating across healthcare, wellness, employment, and housing. The tech stack reflects a classic nonprofit operations profile—Microsoft Office + Business Central for accounting, Snowflake + SQL + Power BI for analytics, Salesforce for relationship management, and Totara for workforce development. Active projects span hydration protocols, quality control systems, hippotherapy service expansion, and operational lean workshops, while pain points cluster around staffing (integrating workers with addiction issues, replacing retiring practitioners), administrative overhead, and care-quality consistency.
Notable leadership hires: Service Head, Head Nurse
SOM operates as a federating body and knowledge hub for social enterprises across Belgium and neighboring regions, with active hiring in the Netherlands, Serbia, United States, Sweden, and Germany. The organization serves social-profit sectors in healthcare, wellness, employment support, and housing. Operations are grounded in three core functions: employer representation and labor integration (particularly for workers facing employment barriers), technical advisory and quality-assurance services, and policy advocacy aligned with democratic and pluralistic governance principles. The workforce is predominantly mid-level and clinical (144 roles in healthcare, 25 in support), with ongoing challenges around clinical recruitment, payroll accuracy, and administrative efficiency.
Core systems include Microsoft Office and 365, Business Central for accounting, Snowflake and SQL for data analysis, Power BI for reporting, Salesforce for CRM, Totara for learning management, and Python and R for analytics.
Active initiatives include hydration protocols, quality control system design, hippotherapy service development, training programs for new staff, lean process optimization workshops, and expanding operational capacity across care and employment services.
