As CEO, Koos de Vink is happy to share how we embrace the power of our core values in everything we do. They are more than just guidelines; they form the foundation of our decision-making and affect every aspect of our activities. This is important not only within our teams, but also in our interactions with all of our stakeholders.
These important values are reflected in everything we do, and our employees are given maximum opportunity to develop in this way. The scope is as wide as possible with us, however, the core values are beyond question.
Mutual respect
Everyone in the organization is equally important. This can only be achieved if we treat each other with respect. This is what we demand from every employee within the organization, and we expect every employee to treat our customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders in the same way. Generally, you will receive the same treatment in return.
Creativity
We continuously encourage “out-of-the-box” thinking and creative solutions. It is literally off limits to dismiss any new idea outright. Responses like “we’ve been doing it this way for 10 years” will always be answered with “then we’re 8 years too late to change.”
Value addition
Every employee adds value and should be aware of it. It is simply much nicer to feel valuable. In addition to good financial rewards and appropriate working conditions, we strive for employees to find their work meaningful. This is how a company moves forward.
Joy
We believe that enjoying your work is crucial for the well-being of our employees and the overall atmosphere within our company. If we are all conscious of the above values, enjoyment will only continue to grow. We expect this from everyone, and off course you are responsible for it yourself.
In summary, we can only maximize and encourage each other’s creativity if we treat each other with respect and take every (new) idea seriously. If everyone does this continuously, every employee will be able to add value in their own way. This ultimately leads to enjoyment and contributes to our overall success.
