“The Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group is a real family company, characterized by a great sense of social solidarity and an informal culture. This doesn’t mean the company’s approach is not business-like. Our familiarity with one another also means we can be open and frank about issues like behavior. And we also talk about KPIs and benchmarks,” says Maureen van Engelen, managing director of Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands. “In all, the Group has around 1,100 employees, which makes it still small enough for people to be seen as individuals. We are proud that Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube has been voted one of the country’s forty best employers yet again in 2009. Van Leeuwen was awarded four stars for its employment conditions, promotion opportunities and training opportunities. In terms of careers and salaries, this family company has at least as much to offer as a listed company.”
Knowledge transfer is a key priority. In their first two years, new employees undertake a comprehensive training program. This thoroughly acquaints them with our product and market profile, and gives them the knowledge and skills needed for them to be deployed in a range of projects within the Group. We have no career paths mapped out in advance, but people who seize opportunities as they arise will find many paths to personal development and growth open to them. Our employees agree wholeheartedly with this approach.
We believe it is important to reward our employees’ enthusiastic commitment and dedication, so we offer an attractive mix of primary and secondary employment conditions and an abundance of development opportunities. Our employment package is regularly checked against current market practice by external experts.
