The road to an open
network organisation
Bringing 4 Woonbedrijf locations into one
“Keeping our clients AND employees happy, that’s the goal!”
THE
BACK
STORY
Merger between two housing corporations
4 offices, 100+ employees
- Keywords: respect, responsibility, connection and result
- Ambition to become an open network organisation
- All employees in one building
“Veldhoen + Company was our sparring partner in this process: they hold a mirror up when we need it”
THE
CHALLENGE
Woonbedrijf Eindhoven, The Netherlands, merged together with another big housing corporation. This merger meant getting all four offices on the same page. The most important part of this change was to improve client satisfaction and the “fun” their employees had while at work.
To work together, smarter and more efficiently was the ultimate goal; in an environment that should feel like a warm coat.
THE
RESULTS
By merging all locations into one, it’s easier for both clients and employees to find us and each other. Nobody has his or her own desk, we expect employees to find the right spot for the right task. The management played an exemplary role in this process.
Together we realised a broad connection, a feeling of belonging. The management is setting the example.
