It is fun and challenging to work at Van Houtum . Entrepreneurship at all levels is strongly encouraged. The flat organisation structure ensures that decisions are made quickly and management and employees are working closely together The career opportunities are excellent.

That is a pre requisite for an organisation that is dependent on the growth of its individual employees. Because they are the key to success. To be willing to change, to cooperate, to communicate well and to have respect for each other, and wanting to learn, are important requisites. Integrated competence management has been implemented throughout within the organisation.

In everything we do at Van Houtum , safety goes first. Employees are aware of risks and have been trained to work as save as possible. Management of occupational safety and health is set up and implemented according to the Ohsas 18001-standard.

This is one of the reasons for the remarkably low absentees rate. Good communication is also important. Health issues are discussed with the employee and manager, and agreed what the employee can still contribute to the organisation. In this way everyone contributes to the development of Van Houtum Papier.
