Working at a Great Place To Work
Sterksen - citing our parent organization HeadFirst Group - has received the certification of a Great Place to Work for the second year in a row. "We received an average rating of 8.6 this year, a result to be proud of," says Anouk Verburg, Corporate Recruiter.
Why is certification so important?
"Great Place to Work is a very fine method for soliciting the opinions of colleagues. This allows us to respond to their wishes and needs in order to create an even better working environment. We see that many colleagues fill it in and that they feel the freedom to fill it in honestly. For this year, a number of points have come out again that we can work on."
What has improved from last year?
"Last year we harmonized the terms of employment with those of HeadFirst Group. As a result, among other things, 2 vacation days have been added. In addition, the onboarding is now better arranged with training for starters, there is more focus on our social contribution, diversity and inclusion and there is a personal budget for training."
What are you most proud of?
"There is a culture of pride and togetherness. People work hard at Sterksen, but we also take time to celebrate successes together. Because of this, you notice that everyone is proud of what we achieve together and that people enjoy working here. This is also reflected in the contact with our clients and partners. Colleagues go the extra mile to add that personal touch."
What will you work on next year?
"We have some areas of improvement for the office. We also got a lot of feedback from the colleagues on this. We are going to pick these up this year so that better facilities can be offered. We are also working on a bicycle plan, so that colleagues can purchase a bicycle at an advantage. It's nice if we can offer them this from Sterksen."
