At VB-Airsuspension, our focus goes well beyond simply 'getting the work done' – we like to keep learning and stay motivated! Last month, we had a special focus on financial awareness.
National 'Week van het Geld' or 'financial awareness week' was held last month from 11 to 15 March. We were pleased to participate in this annual event and put on activities such as workshops on financial awareness. We believe it is important to promote and support our employees' wellbeing, whether financial or otherwise.
Throughout the week, we put on workshops for our colleagues in which they could participate with no obligation during working hours. Everyone – across all levels of the organisation – who participated in the workshops found them to be helpful. Tips and information passed on during the workshops were felt to be useful, especially those relating personal finances.
They were informative and included valuable money-saving tips – something we all evidently need in the current climate. The workshops covered topics such as 'what you should know about your pension', tips on income tax, understanding your payslip, saving money and 'managing my finances in 2024'.
The subject of finances is often seen as a difficult and awkward one to discuss – you could even say taboo. We don't believe it has to be that way, or that such concerns are justified. Being financially aware does not automatically mean you are suffering from 'money problems'. We hope that by spending some time looking at finances, this will raise awareness among our employees and, ultimately, it will no longer be perceived as such an off-limits topic. The workshops were well received, with participants reporting that they were very enjoyable and helpful!

When people talk about Kees, one thing quickly becomes clear: he’s someone the team wouldn’t want to do without — a strong colleague with a calm and steady approach. During his internship, he worked on a rather unusual chair. But what exactly does that chair do? We sat down with Kees to find out.
