Minutes
Outsourcing your minute-taking is not only practical, it is also extremely helpful. Our minutes secretaries provide you with a clear, professional report. Of course, with flawless grammar and content. And, depending on your wishes, a concise or extensive report.

During a board meeting, workshop, conference, seminar or any other type of gathering, you want to be able to focus on the content. Of course, you will make some notes here and there, but there is rarely time to record everything that has been discussed in detail. Emma Handson’s minutes secretaries do have this time and will be happy to take care of this task for you.
To the last detail – in all languages and industries
Minutes have an important function as reference documents and for accountability to third parties. They are seen by many people and are often referred to years (sometimes even decades) later.
Something that is a part of your organisation for such a long time must be flawless. We see this as a given and not simply as a bonus point.
Our minutes secretaries are highly educated (college or university level) and often speak several languages. So you can be assured that all minutes are grammatically and contextually correct – both in Dutch and in English. Of course, we are also happy to discuss options for meetings in a different language. Also consider having your meeting documents, minutes or annual report edited. We are happy to help.
Permanent secretary
At Emma Handson, we strive to appoint a permanent minutes secretary (and a permanent back up) for our clients, so that you know exactly what to expect. A major advantage of this is that you can rely on the minutes secretary to understand your company’s jargon and background, without having to explain it over and over again. All our employees follow an intensive introduction programme for this purpose.
Wide range of expertise
Our highly qualified minutes secretaries have different areas of expertise. We strive to appoint a minutes secretary who is as closely related as possible to your field of work. We do this for pension funds, real estate companies, financial institutions, law firms and the medical sector, amongst others. And, because every sector is different and there is no limit to (new) jargon, we continue to deepen and specialise our knowledge. This way, you can be sure that all of the terminology and professional information will be correctly reflected in the minutes.
On location or remote
You can take minutes anywhere. Our minutes secretaries like to work on location, but if this is not possible, (online) communication software is available. This enables our minutes secretary to produce a crystal clear report remotely. Do you have notes from a meeting or recording that you still want to have worked out into a report? We will be happy to help you with this too!
Types of reports
There are many ways to take minutes, depending on your personal wishes or guidelines within your organisation. Learn more about the different possibilities here.
The pension fund specialists
Expert knowledge of the material is important for a minutes secretary. We are specialists in taking minutes for pension funds. We do not shy away from board meetings or investment committee meetings. All our minutes secretaries follow a specialised pension training programme. This training, which culminates with an official exam, provides our minutes secretaries with valuable knowledge that makes them feel even more confident about pension matters.
In addition, our ongoing workshops and training courses help our minutes secretaries stay up-to-date – in the pension sector and beyond.
Mobile Dictation app
