SUSTAINABLE GROWTH Our people make the difference Diversity, vitality and personal growth weave the fabric of our success. The pandemic placed a strain on our energy and connections – and, with it, our leadership. We missed in-person updates, joint lunches in the restaurant, Sinterklaas celebrations and Christmas breakfast. These were replaced by Teams meetings and online training. Although digital Plantify Lunch Talks, online bingo and the many other well-intentioned initiatives played their part, they could not match the value of personal contact. Halfway through 2021, it was clear we had to focus on rekindling our energy, connections and mutual cooperation. We therefore decided to make ‘energy and connection’ our annual theme for 2022. As a result, we intend to invest in more colleagues, additional office space and fun events while expanding our vitality policy. Our resolve is unchanged. We want our employees to feel at home at Royal Lemkes and know they have the opportunity to develop their skills and qualities. In 2020, we were awarded Best Employer*** in the Netherlands and aim for nothing less in 2022.
