What we heard
No time
Between two runs there is room for a few questions, not for ten minutes.
What we built
That is why the weekly questionnaire takes about two minutes.
About WorkerJoy
Who notices when things are not going well in the cab?
In an office, a colleague notices when you are having a bad week. A driver spends that week driving alone. We are WorkerJoy, and we are building the place where drivers can get it off their chest after all, in their own language and at a moment that suits them.
Out of sight should not mean out of mind.
The beginning
A questionnaire that was not about my work
It started with an engagement survey at my own job. Every time I filled it in, I thought the same thing: these questions barely touch on what I do all day. They have to fit thousands of people in completely different roles, and so they fit nobody really.
Still, I had it easy. I work in an office. If something is bothering me, someone notices.
One evening I was driving home, past one lorry after another.
Who notices it with the driver?
Not because the employer does not want to listen, but because a driver is on the road all day.
So we started asking. Not HR, but drivers themselves first: on long and short runs, on day and night shifts.
That is what WorkerJoy is built on.
Listening first
Before we built anything, we went and talked
In the spring of 2026, one to one, before there was a first version of the platform.
- 2transport companies where we held the conversations
- 12in-depth interviews with drivers: long and short runs, day and night shifts
- 3conversations with two HR managers and a managing director, about what they would do with the answers
What we heard
It matters who asks
You do not tell your own boss everything.
What we built
That is why WorkerJoy asks, not your employer, and your employer never sees who said what.
What we heard
Nothing happens with it anyway
The last questionnaire disappeared into a drawer.
What we built
That is why the employer gets concrete actions, and we keep track of how many of them are taken up.
Who we are
Two founders, one point of contact
You deal directly with a founder: you call Cas, and Tim makes sure everything behind the scenes is right. The two of us see per team how many drivers signed up and answered, even when that is fewer than 5. We also see per month what they chose, and for measurements that are over the scores with the number of answers. There are no names with it. That is to guide the pilot, and we share it with nobody.
Cas van Dijk
Co-founder · CEO
I want every driver to have what I have at the office: someone who notices how they are doing.
Cas is your one point of contact, from the first meeting to the final review in week 10. He looks after Joy (how she talks and what she asks) and goes through with you what your dashboard shows.
Tim Kruijsen
Co-founder · CTO
I used to work at a marketplace for lorries. Everything there was about the truck; now I build for the person inside it.
Tim makes sure everything behind the scenes works: that the questionnaires are right, that the answers reach your dashboard correctly, and that privacy and anonymity are in the technology and not only in the promise.
Why join now
Pilot partners build it with us
We are starting with a small number of transport companies. That is not a sales trick, it is how we get the product right.
-
We visit you first
Before the start we come to meet you on site and set up the pilot together. After that a short call every two weeks, and at the end we visit again.
-
Your answers count towards the price
We set the rate after the pilot only once we have asked you. In week 9 we ask what WorkerJoy is worth to you, and we set the price with the pilot partners' answers.
Where we are going
Drivers first. Then everyone who does not work behind a desk.
-
Now
A pilot with drivers in transport
-
After that
Other roles in transport and logistics: warehouse, workshop and terminal
Get acquainted
Let us talk about your drivers
Half an hour, at your place. You speak to Cas, one of the founders.
