Vopak wishes to bind people for the long term by maintaining the right balance between factors that employees regard as important in their work, such as interesting job content, personal development, career prospects, competitive employment conditions and work-life balance.
As an employer, Vopak has profiled itself as an attractive international company and an employer who encourages, binds and retains people. This is particularly important in today’s turbulent labour market and it also allows Vopak to be able to recruit the right people.
In 2007, a great deal of attention was paid to drawing up a realistic and attractive corporate profile for use around the world for advertising in the labour market. The recruitment and selection website has become much more userfriendly and easier to access, as shown by the increase in the number of applications for vacancies from 20 to 220 per month.
Vopak has extensive contacts with universities and carries out its own recruitment and selection activi ties. This year, Vopak also wants to address the higher vocational education level in the same way.
