1nergiek
Sometimes a story says more than a thousand policy documents. That became clear again recently when our colleague Johan was interviewed by Bert van Boggelen, chair of the Codekamer, for the series Bert on Tour.
Johan is a window cleaner at 1nergiek and has been working in the trade for more than fifty years. At 68, he is still visibly enjoying being on site. Three days a week he sets out for our clients, his colleagues and the profession he loves so much.
Within 1nergiek, we jokingly call him our “gray roof pigeon”. A colleague with a huge wealth of knowledge and experience, but above all someone who shows every day that job satisfaction, involvement and pride in your profession have no age limit.
Johan is not alone in that. Within 1nergiek, several colleagues have remained active after retirement. This group now consists of more than 21 colleagues, including two top performers aged 76 who are still working with enthusiasm.
These experienced colleagues bring calm, knowledge and stability to our teams. They share their experience with younger colleagues and show what true dedication to the profession means. We are incredibly proud of that.
Johan's story shows what it is ultimately about in our sector. Of course, it is about clean and well-maintained environments, but above all about people who carry out their profession with pleasure.
As long as the work gives you energy, why would you stop?
We thank Bert van Boggelen for his visit and for bringing Johan's story to attention.
