Health
(candidates and colleagues)
Springplank values the health of its candidates and colleagues. The organisation is therefore also keen to invest in maintaining and improving the health of its candidates and colleagues. An important goal of Springplank is to be best employer for its employees. Of course, we hope to be this already, but the organisation has grown rapidly over the past 3 years and it is becoming more difficult to meet everyone's needs and requirements. Nevertheless, we continue to invest in this by, among other things, developing a Feeling Good programme and rolling it out structurally. We also offer the Springplank Academy and take a customised look at all employees' needs. In five years' time, we still want to be seen as a good employer and preferably as the best employer.

Sustainable employability is one of the key components for us to achieve this goal. We will soon also be launching a project to promote the health of our candidates.

Feeling good programme

Springplank is committed to being a good employer. A employee who is comfortable in his or her own skin, has his or her own direction and leads a nice life, is not only a nice employee, but also an employee who is able to contribute to Springplank's mission to offer our candidates perspective; Living Working Participating! In recent years, Springplank has invested heavily in understanding what our employees need. With this, we have formed a ‘getting comfortable in your skin’ programme where our employees can sign up for various activities.

Liaison days

At Springplank, we believe it is important to connect. This is one of our core values. It involves connecting with each other, with the candidate, and between candidates. Every year we therefore organise two connection days. Candidates and colleagues are invited to engage in various activities together.

ING Netherlands fund leadership training

ING Netherlands fund is a partner of Springplank in several areas. One of those areas is leader development within Springplank. In 2024, the team leaders of Springplank will embark on a leadership training programme run by Liselot Bomers. The aim of this course is for each leader to become aware of his or her leadership style, development points and what this does to others. That way, they can also start differentiating. The leadership team also feels supported by each other and reflects together on situations that occur. The effect of the programme is that they have better self-knowledge, are more confident and thus benefit the quality of service for our target group and the vision of Springplank.

Coats Together for our Region

Through a collection campaign organised by Together for our Region, Springplank received over 250 coats. These coats have been distributed at various shelters, including the crisis emergency shelter, Fuutlaan, Bellefroidlaan, Mathildelaan, Vestdijk and the Winter Emergency Shelter. This year, 22 companies in the Brainport area collected among their own employees, in addition to 7 partners serving as public collection points. In total, as many as 2,800 coats were collected, making a huge contribution to the welfare of the residents of these shelters.

Fruit op Werk

Mark Heerkens, a social entrepreneur, has launched a heartwarming initiative at Springplank. He offers fruit for the candidates at the Bellefroid and Fuutlaan reception sites at just €0.08 each, which covers the cost of transport. For Springplank's employees at de Paradijslaan, he offers fruit at €0.31 each, which is the purchase price. Thanks to Mark, both candidates and employees can enjoy healthy and fresh fruit, contributing to their well-being and energy during the day.

Cushions of Hotel NH Collection Eindhoven

The NH hotel on the Vestdijk has donated 350 used cushions to Springplank. These pillows were distributed at several of Springplank's shelter locations, including Bellefroidlaan, Fuutlaan, Ukraine shelter and crisis emergency shelter. Thanks to this donation, the residents of these locations can enjoy extra comfort and a better night's sleep.
