Normec VRO was exactly what I was looking for
The Greenery
The flexible labor market is dynamic and constantly subject to changing laws and regulations. As a hiring company, it can be challenging to determine whether the agencies you work with are correctly applying the rules. Normec VRO offers a solution — as Eric Don, Manager of Operations at The Greenery Logistics, has experienced firsthand.
A reliable partner in flexible employment
The Greenery relies heavily on flexible workers for its logistics operations, with these workers logging hundreds of thousands of hours annually. For Eric Don, it is only natural that these employees receive the same treatment and pay as permanent staff. With the 2027 additions to the SNA standard framework as a result of the Placement of Personnel by Intermediaries Act (Wtta), The Greenery wanted to be certain that their flexible staffing partners would comply.
“I consulted several inspection bodies, but the experiences weren’t great,” says Eric Don. A recommendation from both a colleague and a staffing agency led him to Normec VRO. “Even during the introductory meeting with Julisa Fereijra-Phelipa (Business Unit Director at Normec VRO) and Patrick Vlasblom (Area Sales Manager), it became clear that Normec VRO not only has an in-depth understanding of laws, regulations, collective labor agreements, and the sector, but also a pragmatic and solution-oriented approach. That was exactly what I was looking for in an inspection body — perhaps even more.”
A shared vision of good employment practices
At The Greenery, good employment practices are a top priority. Flexible workers receive the same opportunities as permanent staff, including a warm welcome, the same onboarding process, and intensive coaching. “Thanks to Normec VRO, I now know for sure that the areas of expertise we don’t have in-house are being handled fully in accordance with legislation. That’s reassuring: at The Greenery, every employee gets what they are entitled to.”
An inspiring example
According to Julisa Fereijra-Phelipa, The Greenery is a role model for other hiring companies. “The Greenery takes its responsibility seriously and deliberately chooses to work with agencies that hold the SNA quality mark. The proactive approach taken by Eric and his team shows their commitment to a fair and transparent flexible labor market. Companies like The Greenery inspire others, strengthen the chain, and elevate the entire job market.”
