QUESTIONS RAISED BY CLIENTS

In our company the client must have
pride of place. How do I achieve that?
In your organisation the client must occupy centre
stage. Your company has to be a smash hit when it
comes to personal service. So how do you go about
achieving that?
You have a clear objective in mind, which means you
know what you want. Your client must always have
the feeling that you are there for him. You know that
this approach will serve to set you apart from the
competition.
Your staff must find it enjoyable to help and please
your clients. What kind of employees do you need?
How do you encourage them? Good employment conditions can be helpful when it comes to these considerations. They should involve reasonable salaries and
perhaps also make provision for a bonus scheme – although in this case not one that pays out in the event
of an increase in sales, but only if and when customer
satisfaction, for example, has increased.
You want employees who enjoy communicating with
others, and are good at that. These are the kind of
people you want to hold onto in your company. But
are you yourself setting a good example? What are the
arrangements governing internal communication in
your organisation? Is there scope for a genuine discussion, or is it in actual fact predominantly one-way
communication? What can you change? Where would
you say your weak points were if you wanted to become a genuinely service-driven company?
AWVN answers your questions. We don’t present
you with tedious reports, but provide you with
practical advice on HR policy, labour relations and
employment conditions. In short, we advise you
on the tools you have at your disposal to achieve
the best results, together with your employees. The
trick is to put these tools to use in such a way that
they help you to attain your corporate objectives.
AWVN is the largest employers’ association in the Netherlands p More than 850 individual companies and trade associations are
Tough times: cost-cutting, downsizing?
Or are other solutions possible?
Good times alternate with bad
times. Sometimes you don’t have
enough hands, and sometimes you
have too many. What you need is
greater flexibility. Do you obtain
that by having recourse to stand-by
workers, temporary employees or
agency staff ? Or is it wiser to make
sure that labour supply and labour
demand are better geared to each
other, or to devise more astutely
organised work schedules?
Is it possible to start working with
flexible forms of remuneration:
paying staff more if the company
is doing well, and paying them
slightly less if results are disappointing? And if such a system
were introduced, what implications
would it have for the employment
conditions scheme and what impact
would it have on labour relations in
your organisation? You’re no “softie”, but you’re well aware that good
labour relations are vital to the
smooth running of your company.
A poor working atmosphere is not
in your interests at all, and yet your
organisation has to become more
flexible. How do you set about that?
How do you organise the consultations with the trade unions and the
staff council? And how do you inform the employees of the changes?
AWVN answers your questions.
It doesn’t present you with tedious reports but offers practical
advice on how to achieve more
flexible operations, restructuring,
working time management, employment conditions and labour
relations. AWVN ensures that
you can capitalise on economic
developments whilst at the same
time maintaining good labour
relations.
QUESTIONS RAISED BY CLIENTS
Your company is having a difficult time of it at the moment, and
you are faced with the decision as
to whether you should cut costs
or lay off staff. Or are alternative
solutions possible?

members p Directly and indirectly there are some 19,000 affiliated companies p Together these companies employ more than 2 million people p
QUESTIONS RAISED BY CLIENTS
Does our company also benefit from
allowing some of its employees to
work from home?

Many of your employees would be
very keen to work from home one
or two days a week. Is that something you would agree to, and if
so what arrangements would have
to be made in that respect? And
would your company be better off
for it?
More and more companies around
you are going along with this trend.
They are quite happy for members of
staff not to come to the office on one
or two days a week, and to work from
home instead. Your employees want
that possibility, too. Will you agree
to this? And if so, what is needed for
this system to be put into practice?
Quite a few employers assume that
for telecommuting you don’t need
much more than a good place to
work and a PC with a fast Internet
connection. And yet those are only
the technical preconditions. Obviously it begins with the question: would
telecommuting be appropriate for
my company? It could be. Employees
who work from home are generally
productive, since they spend less time
in traffic jams. What’s more, by making telecommuting possible you can
sometimes save on workstations in
the office and you will probably become more attractive as an employer.
But you can also say “no”, for example if the very thing your company’s
success is based on is cooperation or
if the labour relations in your company are not yet equipped for telecommuting. After all, it entails managers
being able to run operations on the
basis of results instead of working
hours, and this calls for trust and
commitment to the company.
Oughtn’t you to work on that first?
Wouldn’t you first like to train your
executive staff in a different form
of management? Or are you chiefly
looking for solutions to practical
questions concerning, for example,
rules in the field of working conditions, tax arrangements and pay?
AWVN answers your questions. It
doesn’t present you with tedious
reports but offers practical advice
on Alternative Workplace Strategies (sometimes also referred to as
“the New World of Work”), labour
relations and employment conditions, and everything to do with
staff deployment. Your company’s
strategy occupies centre stage here.
After all, your HR policy must
make its contribution to this
process.
AWVN was founded in 1919 to carry on negotiations on employment conditions with the trade unions on behalf of its members p
QUESTIONS RAISED BY CLIENTS

How do I make sure that everyone
stays full of vitality? And are older
employees expensive?
You’re well aware of the fact that older employees
are having to carry on working for longer. But how
do they retain their vitality and keep up with the
times? And actually, aren’t older workers very expensive?
There are extra days’ leave for older employees –
that’s something for which provision is made in the
collective labour agreement. But is that the extent of
your policy on older employees? Do you think you can
see to it that your employees can be put to work in a
lasting fashion in that way? Have you thought about
how many of your older employees actually need
extra days off ?
It could be that other tools are needed to keep your
employees full of vigour. Use a survey or panel interviews to ask them to tell you themselves what they
need to remain available for useful and versatile work.
Your employees might want to develop their skills further by means of training or by extending their range
of duties. Or they may want to have a greater say in
their working hours, which could be brought about
through self-rostering.
How do you introduce these kinds of changes? What
role could the trade unions or a staff council play in
this process? How do you remain a good employer,
who brings the corporate objectives within closer
reach through good employership?
AWVN answers your questions. It doesn’t present
you with tedious reports but offers practical advice
in the field of lasting employability, remuneration,
working-hours management and employment conditions.
Negotiations on employment conditions and provision of advice on the drafting of employment conditions are still part of the core business p

KNOWLEDGE
TREND-WATCHING
CREATION & INNOVATION
p Data gathering, analysis and improvement is one of AWVN’s main activities
vis-à-vis its fee-paying members. AWVN
sets about this activity using all the different channels at its disposal: on the
website and Twitter, by means of electronic newsletters, by distilling information via databases, by organising webinars, information meetings, seminars
and workshops, and by publishing practical guidebooks or brochures explaining
changes in the law.
You are therefore assured of always having reliable, hard facts and figures and
up-to-date information on all conceivable
HR issues and the legislation and regulations on social security matters and
labour law.
p AWVN has a good nose for trends: the
rise of economies in other parts of the
world, resulting in a need for increased
labour productivity in the Netherlands;
or the exodus of young talent and the
ageing of the labour market, meaning
people are forced to carry on working for
longer.
These are two examples of trends that
have become apparent over recent years
and that AWVN discerned and pointed
to back when they were still incipient,
and for which AWVN ultimately devised
effective policy measures – social innovation and lasting employability, respectively.
p At AWVN policy development is
closely interwoven with the paid
services. Or rather, AWVN strives
to see to it that the methods and
tools developed by its consultants
can be used and applied directly
in consulting practice. Innovation
and creativity are key concepts in
the development. The unique link
between theory and practice at
AWVN guarantees that you always
have state-of-the-art HR tools at
your disposal.

OUTLOOK & POLICY
NeTWOrK
INFLUeNCe
p AWVN develops outlook and policy
in social matters and places relevant
subjects on the agenda. Outlook formulation and policy development focus on new future-oriented HR issues.
Recent examples are innovation in
labour relations and the relationship
between the employer and the flexitime worker. AWVN also constantly
highlights policy in respect of social
matters to which attention needs to
be paid on a permanent basis. One
example of this is the employment
conditions policy. In the employment
conditions memorandum produced at
the end of every year, AWVN lists the
spearheads of the forthcoming round
of collective bargaining – subjects
that need to be given attention if they
are to be able to continue to capitalise
sufficiently on medium-term developments. In this respect AWVN keeps
an eagle eye on the main short-term
cost item – wages. For wage increases
AWVN propagates creative solutions,
such as profit sharing: first earn, then
share out.
p The AWVN members themselves
form a strong network. AWVN sees to
it that you regularly meet one another
at meetings of the various networks, of
which there are some twenty in all, at
both regional and national level (the
national ones focusing specifically on
a particular subject). The networks are
all about members having the chance
to meet other people in the same line
of business in an informal setting, to
examine and discuss socio-economic
developments in depth, and to exchange experiences and learn from
each other. This generates invaluable
contacts – also for AWVN itself. Since
just like the digital consultations of
members, the get-togethers are also
designed as an opportunity for you to
voice your opinion. AWVN thus gains
a clear idea of what is going on in
practice.
p Thanks to the cooperation with
VNO-NCW, AWVN constitutes an
important link between in-company
practice and political decision-making.
But its numerous other contacts in the
institutional world mean that AWVN’s
influence extends further than that.
For example, AWVN maintains close
contacts with the Social and Economic
Council, the Joint Industrial Labour
Council, the Ministry of Social Affairs
and Employment and university institutions. In other words, it is in contact
with all the relevant players in the Polder Model, including, of course, other
employers’ associations and the trade
union movement. Indeed, AWVN has
been a valued interlocutor of the trade
union movement for over ninety years,
and this permanent dialogue with the
unions is one of the factors contributing to the peaceful industrial climate
that so typifies the Netherlands.

WHAT MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT AWVN
Mijke Vossen
1
COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES NEDERLAND
“We want to be the best company
in the world in our area. Wanting
to win is in this company’s DNA.
Attracting talented people is important, but the next step is making
sure those employees stay with us,
and that’s where staff involvement
is a decisive factor. It sounds clichéd,
but Coca-Cola Enterprises has to be a
great place to work. Those aren’t empty
words, since we are convinced that
employees who are committed to and
involved in the company perform
best. That means going that extra
mile, displaying entrepreneurship
when it comes to solving problems,
and assuming responsibility. What’s
more, scientific studies have shown
that this works.”
“We work with development cycles
for our employees, consisting of the
pre-setting of objectives, development
interviews, development plans, assessment interviews and talent management. We have our own Coca-Cola
Enterprise Academy, where employ-
ees can take part in programmes in
the field of personal skills, but can
also learn specific professional skills.
These programmes are put together
in consultation with the business
units.”
“Furthermore, we conduct an objective test every two years to see how
things stand as regards our employees’ commitment. We do this by
means of an independent worldwide
survey. We take the conclusions of
this survey very seriously, and that’s
vital. We react to these results by
holding feedback sessions and taking specific measures. The two-yearly
survey can have consequences at
enterprise level, but can also have repercussions for the way small groups
and their managers operate. Since
we take the results so seriously, more
than 90% of the staff take part in the
survey. And indeed, we know that
Coca-Cola ranks above the average for
comparable companies as far as staff
commitment is concerned.”
“AWVN supports us partly in this HR
strategy but also very specifically in
the review of our pension scheme
and the maintenance of our job matrix and pay structure and the discussions on these matters with our social
partners. Salaries are important, of
course they are, but they’re not the
most important thing of all; that’s
something that’s being demonstrated
time and time again. Your relationship with your immediate superiors,
training and development possibilities and sustainable enterprise prove
in practice to be of far more vital
importance. That latter point also
implies that you work towards lasting staff employability, for which we
are developing programmes together
with AWVN.
We want to make sure that people
continue to work in good health and
continue to enjoy working at this
company for as long as possible, and
that when they’re celebrating a birthday, for example, they’re proud to say
Me? I work at Coca-Cola.”

important thing”

“Putting the former Accounting Plaza in a
position to stand up to the future is, in a
nutshell, what we have been doing since
it was acquired by Genpack in April 2012,
a process entailing a reputable Dutch
organisation being fitted into the world’s
largest BPO (business process outsourcing)
company. Accounting Plaza originated
from Ahold, and did that group’s (and
other companies’) personnel administration and financial accounting. That’s a
complex, knowledge-intensive process
with a high IT content, and one that companies often outsource to a specialised
company; hence Ahold’s decision at the
time to hive off its back office.
For Genpack, which in turn was once
General Electric’s back office, the takeover was a strategic one, since it wanted
to expand its activities in Europe, in particular in the retail sector. So it was that
Accounting Plaza (with its head office
in Wormer, offices in Krakow and Brno,
and around 700 employees) became part
of a dynamic BPO organisation operating worldwide – a competitively geared,
growth-oriented organisation with 60
offices and 60,000 employees: in short,
en entity in a different category to Accounting Plaza. That process of fitting
into Genpack relates to structure, but
also, in the rather longer term, culture.
Firstly therefore, operations have to be
unravelled and certain activities have to
be housed elsewhere within Genpact. The
same things in reverse also occurs, i.e.
that we receive tasks from other offices.
Things are well and truly on the move.
And all the while regular sales carry on
as normal during the alterations.”
“The first main subject we tackled after
the acquisition was pensions. We were
still in Ahold’s pension fund, and partly
at their request, we left it. In the space
of six months we have made the move to
another solid fund (we explicitly did not
want an insurance company). We carried
out this project together with AWVN, and
made sure the utmost care was taken, as
was only necessary, since you’re disrupting people’s mindset, you’re encroaching
upon their dream that they’ll shortly
be receiving 70% of their last-earned
wage. The information meetings made
the necessary facts clear, as to how pension arrangements are worked out in the
Netherlands and what the uncertainties
of the system are. These sessions made
employees very aware of the situation.
The second tough assignment was the collective labour agreement. We attach a lot
of importance to this, since in the Dutch
BPO market a collective labour agreement
represents a kind of quality mark and
proof that you are a respectable partner.
Together with AWVN, the trade union
and the staff council, we set about the job
GIJs bANNINK

with a completely new aim. As many specific rules as possible were stripped, and
flounces and furbelows on the subject of
employment conditions were expressed in
monetary terms and quantified. This was
a cost-neutral operation that has led to a
benefit budget of 24% on top of the regular wage. You can have that paid out in
cash, but you can also use it to buy in all
sorts of things in the field of employment
conditions through the so-called benefit
shop. The advantage for the employee is
that he can have his needs in the field of
employment conditions more effectively
geared to the stage of his life. For the company, meanwhile, the advantage is that
the personnel costs are made much more
transparent and can be better controlled.
And it will make harmonisation of the
employment conditions much easier as
soon as Genpact’s Dutch division starts
recording growth.
The company is undergoing major changes and we’re not at the end of the road yet
by any manner of means, but changes of
direction of this kind are only good if you
take account of and are aware of Dutch
labour relations. So it’s no coincidence
that we often call on AWVN’s services.
In addition, we quite simply don’t have
enough manpower and we lack the right
expertise. So you hire in specialists, whilst
taking firm control of the management
yourself. That division of roles benefits
quality and you keep things moving at a
good pace. And that’s necessary in order
to guarantee the future of the company.”

Jurgen Story

UNILEVER BENELUX
“Unilever has set itself the worldwide
objective of doubling the company’s size
and at the same time reducing our impact on the environment and increasing
the positive effect we have on society.
Striving for sustainable growth of this
kind is in our genes.
In light of social developments it is also
the only conceivable growth strategy for
that matter, and one that we have set
out in the Unilever Sustainable Living
Plan. Anyone who fails to endorse this
plan or who thinks that sustainability
is just so much hot air to be trumpeted
from the dais is not suitable for employment with us.”
“Our HR policy is directed at bringing
the company’s central objective closer;
Unilever’s HR staff are business partners for the management at all levels.
In this respect for me AWVN plays an
important role as a sparring partner. Are
we really and truly on the right path?
How does our approach relate to those
adopted by other companies? Are we
performing well and could we be doing
better? AWVN challenges us with these
issues and has unique knowledge and
know-how at its disposal.”
“It might sound pretentious, but Unilever wants to attract the best people on
the labour market and make sure they
want to stay with the company. Only by
recruiting and retaining the best staff
will we be able to carry on innovating
and continue to be the best. Unilever
also focuses on diversity. We want to
have a diverse range of employees, not
just as regards the proportion of men
and women, but also in terms of diversity of cultures. We are convinced that
synergies arise when people from different backgrounds look at the same problem. So line managers are trained not
to take on clones of themselves. On the
contrary, it is the presence of different
cultures and different characters that
helps enable an organisation to grow.”
“From a certain job grade upwards, we
also assess our employees on the basis
of our ‘standards of leadership’. This
involves matters relating to attitude and
skills: have they constantly placed the
focus on our customers, are they actiondriven, do they have the capacity to
build teams and achieve results, and do
they assume their responsibility? As and
when employees score better in respect
of such leadership abilities, so this is
also directly reflected in their pay.”
“Remuneration policy does not concern
only the fixed salary by a long chalk.
There is a clear need among employees
to have bonuses geared more to individual performance, and that’s something
we’re busy working on at the moment.
And we also look at other matters that
employees find important, such as the
possibility of being able to work from
home for part of the week, for example.
These are things that the staff are asking for, and finding an answer to these
requests is ultimately only good for business.”
