1nergiek
Charlotte Brouwers (36) is account manager at WEPA. The resident of Geldermalsen focuses mainly on the business market. Here she gives an insight into the world of, among other things, toilet paper.
Charlotte shares her experience when it comes to the relationship with 1nergiek. “The name 1nergiek describes the cleaning company very well, because they also come across to me as an organization where energy is buzzing from.”
“Especially when you look at how they present themselves, maintain contacts and the cleaners do their work,” she says. “A lot of energy emanates from them. There is also a familiar, approachable atmosphere. Everyone is accessible and approachable. People experience that you can be who you are and especially may be who you are.”
“But professionalism really comes first. So it is wonderful to experience this combination. The cleaning work that 1nergiek performs is not just any objects. There is so much more involved. I also regularly learn in this respect.”
Charlotte: “Cleaners generally have to do a lot in a relatively short time. Is that a healthy situation? A more sustainable personnel policy would be good for the sector. The cleaner should be central. 1nergiek sets the right example in this. You can see that people do their work with enthusiasm. 1nergiek thinks carefully about many things. They distinguish themselves not only by this, but also by their own personality. My message to them is to hold on to this. Continue to be the organization you are now and maintain the current company culture.”
“We serve the business market through our partners. This brings us into contact with companies like 1nergiek,” Charlotte continues. “Our contact came about after 1nergiek asked us whether we could provide support at their stand at the Vakbeurs Facilitair & Gebouwbeheer. Because they really wanted to roll out a sustainable project with us in the field of sanitary dispensers and hygiene paper from BlackSatino and the whole world was allowed to see that at their stand. I spent two and a half days with them there. From the very first moment there was a warm and pleasant contact, with the colleagues of 1nergiek indicating that our products would really match the experience and use of their clients very well. But also that WEPA as an organization, in terms of culture and way of working, can really be partners.” And that is how it all started...
Charlotte Brouwers then gave a number of trainings at 1nergiek to the regional managers. She also assisted a number of clients.
“WEPA is a frontrunner in the field of sustainability and circularity,” Charlotte says. “You increasingly see a trend that the business market must start purchasing circularly. This means that the demand for this type of products is growing. There is a world of difference between the period before and after corona. Hygiene has become more important than it has ever been. Companies therefore want to arrange the sanitary facilities as well as possible.”
However, according to Charlotte, this last point differs per sector. “There is simply a different price tag attached to a product that has been produced more sustainably than to a product of cheaper quality,” she notes. “Some companies would like to, but cannot keep up. Everything is often budget-dependent as well. So you have to take that into account.”
1nergiek is busy trying together with Wepa to enthuse all its clients about sustainability and circularity in the “smallest rooms”. And so far it can be said that this is going smoothly.
A clean environment starts with people who are committed, take responsibility and know what is needed. That is how we like to work together. Curious what 1nergiek can mean for your organization?
