In November 2023, the first online employee engagement survey was conducted. At a response rate of 76%, we received more than 13,000 responses from participating employees; a promising starting point for future initiatives. Collecting and analyzing feedback creates a culture of listening and action, whereby everyone within the organization is involved in change. The survey dealt with various topics, including strategy, workload, performance, objectives, growth and more. One question in the survey was, for example, the following: “How likely are you to recommend Van Leeuwen as employer?” Van Leeuwen’s objectives, management support and the work’s usefulness received a positive rating. All results have been shared with managers and employees, and action plans are being developed. These action plans focus on various aspects, such as improving autonomy and clarifying the remuneration structure. The next employee engagement survey is planned for the third quarter of 2024.
