Working at our Cheese Family

CSR

The term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is being used more and more often these days. And CSR can be applied to several parts of a company. One example is good employment practices.

The pleasant interaction between management and employees has benefited Henri Willig's growth for years. Together we have the same goal and we want to continue growing so that we can inspire the entire world with our delicious Dutch speciality cheeses.

For us, it is therefore very important to look ahead together.

• What can be improved?
• What is already going extremely well?
• What ambitions do we have?

Everyone in the company can contribute ideas. We also conduct an annual employee satisfaction survey. In our company, the management is very accessible and always welcomes input from employees in various departments.

Working together, having fun together

A very large group of our colleagues work in our shops. It is always a party there and many students stay with us after their studies because it is such a nice place to work. Fortunately, there is also room to grow. And working at Henri Willig is simply not a standard retail job.

What is very special with us, for example, is that you come into contact with so many different cultures and people. The whole world comes to visit! You gain a lot of knowledge about people, which remains valuable for the rest of your life.

Personal development and growth

In order to grow personally and to be able to advise visitors as best as possible, we have our own academy. Here, you can work on many different skills. We offer several language courses, for example. Because how cool is it if you can explain to people in Spanish, Russian or French who we are and what special cheeses we have in our range?

Our works council is listened to sincerely, so that something can actually be done with the experiences and ideas from the various work fields. And the staff association is a social platform with a strong family feeling. This makes it a warm and pleasant place to work and an ideal place for self-development.

I have been working for Henri Willig for over 8 years and have held various positions. I have grown and developed myself. I am happy and proud to have an employer who looks at your strengths and helps you along. Here's to many more years of growth and, last but not least, job satisfaction!
