Diversity, Equality and Inclusion
Diversity, Equality and Inclusion
As many as 80% of employees prefer working for a company that supports diversity, equality and inclusion. A diverse and inclusive workplace leads to greater engagement, innovation and better decision-making. This translates into a revitalising environment where everyone feels welcome and can work in a way that suits them.
Equal Opportunities for All
The more diverse the organisation, the better the atmosphere and performance. This is why we believe in a safe workplace with no room for prejudice or discrimination. We promote a revitalising environment where everyone has equal opportunities.
Room for Individual Needs
A revitalising workplace accommodates a wide variety of people—and therefore a wide range of individual needs. For those who perform best through regular collaboration, there are spaces for meetings and (digital) discussions. For those who work better in quiet environments, there are various acoustic booths to choose from.
Social Entrepreneurship
There is room for everyone at our company. As a social enterprise, we value equal opportunities. More than 30% of our total workforce (Ahrend Netherlands, Gispen Netherlands and Presikhaaf School Furniture) consists of employees with a distance to the labour market. They are assigned suitable jobs, receive personal development support and assistance with their tasks. Through a buddy system, they are paired with a mentor who acts as their job coach.
PSO30+ Certificate
We have been awarded a PSO30+ Step 3 certificate, the highest achievable PSO30+ level. PSO stands for the Social Entrepreneurship Performance Ladder, a tool developed by TNO to measure how well organisations provide employment for vulnerable groups in the labour market. Its aim is to increase employment for people with a distance to the labour market. PSO ensures that their support is of high quality and is sustainable. Companies with this certificate also encourage their suppliers to engage in social
Certificates and reports
We believe it's important for all our employees to feel happy and healthy in their work. This is why we provide opportunities for continuous development and ensure that everyone feels valued within our company.
We prioritise conducting business in an honest and ethical manner, which applies to everyone within our organisation. Through our Code of Conduct, integrity committee, trusted advisors and training sessions, we ensure ethical business practices.
As a sustainable creator of revitalising work environments, we aim to lead the way in the circular economy. For circular business operations, we rely on partnerships with other businesses that share the same circular goals. Collaborating with partners, suppliers and clients across our value chain allows us to make a real difference together.
