3D HR AND LEADERSHIP POLICY
Meaning, the development of everyone’s unique talent, the magic of human interaction and socially responsible entrepreneurship are at the heart of the HR policy. We look for leadership and responsibility as low as possible in the organisation. We encourage mental, social and achievement vitality. In other words: Dream, Dance, Deliver. We look for a sense of shared destiny, collegiality and professionalism in our colleagues. Ubuntu: I am because we are. What we do to others (or the other), we do to ourselves.
