My hein®
Quality, safety, health and environment mean more than just complying to rules and regulations. It’s about awareness and behavior. Everyone has to take responsobility, so our and other employees can safe and sound return to their homes at the end of the day.
In 2015, M.J. van Riel started a behavioral program, called ‘hein’ (a common Dutch first name). ‘hein’ is developed by labor and organizational psychologists Jules Heijneman and Kim Reuser. It helps to create a corporate culture where open and transparent communication about workplace safety and other difficult workplace situations is not only accepted, but encouraged. This allows us to constantly implement new improvements.
Everyone has his / her own ‘hein’, making him very recognizable. This makes creating support for the program within all levels of our organization easy, all the while connecting our team.
In short: we strive to achieve permanent improvement through open communication.
