At Noord Natie Odfjell Antwerp Terminal we want to respect and make optimal use of our human capital. Our policy focuses on the sustainable and optimal employability of all our employees within our organisation: recruiting the best people, engaging them, and developing, training, and managing them in a way that suits their talent.

The social policy at NNT ensures employees can meet each other outside working hours in an informal atmosphere. Corporate events are organised at regular intervals.

We believe it is important to continue to invest in the development of our employees (coaching & training) and a detailed social policy, which contributes to personal growth and good informal, professional relationships.

Extensive automation is always applied when expanding our storage capacity. These new technologies also require more specialised knowledge. And this is exactly what our development plan operations are focused on. Since 2019, an operations trainer has been employed who focuses full-time on on-the-job training for operators.

In addition to mandatory aspects such as implementing an anti- smoking policy and carrying out random checks for alcohol and drugs, we are fully committed to the health and general well-being of our employees.

The method of evaluation and assessment has been thoroughly rethought. We will introduce a new, more participatory working method in 2020: the WiZo dialogue, consisting of a Winter (Wi) and a Summer (Zo) moment. The WiZo dialogue is characterised by two-way communication between the manager and the employee in which everyone has a voice.

In order to encourage our employees to come to work by bicycle, the NNT Bicycle Plan was introduced in the summer of 2019. The option for leasing a bicycle of choice for commuting, including insurance, maintenance and breakdown assistance, applies to all NNT employees.

The lease is concluded for a period of 3 years in exchange for part of the gross salary. NNT employees who come to work by bicycle can continue to enjoy a bicycle allowance. 49 employees (as of end May 2020) have already taken advantage of this: a win for the environment, their health and their wallet.
