Allshoes as Great Place to Work

Whereas some suppliers are perfectly happy to cooperate, others are not very straightforward about participating or not and about which data they want to share about their own factories. Let alone share data from their own suppliers. This is still a common occurrence in our line of business.

Creating transparency is thus quite a challenge. We are currently researching how to make Tier 1, 2, 3, etc. insightful without sharing competitively sensitive information.

Eefje Hutjes HR & TALENT ADVISOR

We are immensely proud to be able to call ourselves a ‘Great Place To Work’.

“As of May 2022, we can call ourselves a ‘Great Place to Work’. This certificate reflects the level of satisfaction among our employees. For this certification we also measure the level of pride and confidence in our organisation.

The certificate compels us to think about improving the way we do things even further. By doing research, we encourage feedback from our employees. A lot of new ideas are formed based on this. It is a fact that satisfied employees stay on longer and attract new talent. In this way we are building a strong team where values such as respect, friendship and credibility are important.

*Tier 1 is the tier of direct suppliers to Allshoes Safety Footwear. Each ‘Tier’ is a new layer of producers or suppliers. Tier 2 suppliers are the suppliers of our suppliers. Every time a new tier is mapped, a larger part of the chain becomes visible and thus the chain becomes increasingly transparent.

That’s how we grow as an organisation and when we can be proud. Proud of our company, our employees, and proud of the steps we are taking in sustainability and innovation.”
