Our employees
Our employees make the difference.
Employee Health & Safety
If we cannot do it safely, we don’t do it. We will insist on safe working practices by encouraging responsible behaviour and by ensuring that teams and individuals understand what is expected of them.
Subcontractors are required by contract to ensure that their employees comply with the Vanderlande safety regulations and to provide the required protection measures. In addition, subcontractors must provide a Health & Safety plan before starting work on a Vanderlande site.
Employee development and engagement
Continuous development is enabled by education and training. Our Vanderlande Academy is one of the platforms available to employees to enhance their personal and professional development.
Employee engagement is monitored by the Best Employers Survey conducted annually in the Netherlands. This independent survey shows that employees have strong loyalty to and identification with Vanderlande.
This is also demonstrated by the low employee turnover rates in recent years (below 5%).
Diversity
We believe that a diverse and international workforce is a key to success. We strive to create a culture in which all employees can develop themselves regardless of gender, ethnicity or background.
Such a workforce has the capability to be more creative and innovative, and by its nature leads to better business performance.
Examples:
- RoSPA Gold Award (UK) for the fourth year in succession
- Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (NL) Members of our Schiphol services staff successfully extinguished a fire
- Health and Safety Awards (USA) Vanderlande Industries is known for its strong safety reputation
