"Culture eats strategy for breakfast," said Jasper Saeijs, Chief Marketing Officer of Team Visma Lease-a-Bike, during the official opening of our new Syntegro office. The success of this already legendary cycling team is largely determined by a strong culture. At Syntegro, we take this lesson to heart. Our recent move to Hasselt strengthens our ambition to create a work environment where shared values and flexible collaboration are central.
Flexible work, strong results: Syntegro puts culture into action
Inspiration at Visma Lease-a-Bike
The way Visma Lease-a-Bike managed to win the three major cycling tours in one year is truly impressive. How they maintain their strong presence at the top of the cycling world after all those victories is perhaps even more so. Their success story is an inspiration for Syntegro, as confirmed by our project manager Kevin Palinckx.
"Performing every day as one team, helping each other when someone falls, and embodying the values we hold, both internally and externally: that's important. I believe we are succeeding in this at Syntegro today as well."
Embracing Flexibility
Flexibility is key! Not just in our software solutions, but also in how we work as a team, for our clients. This is emphasized by project manager Jo Vandeperre.
Employees are given a lot of responsibility and freedom to organize their work efficiently. This is why Syntegro mainly looks for colleagues who take initiative and can prioritize tasks.
We maintain a good balance between working from home and at the office. Our new office in Hasselt is an inspiring environment that energizes us. It’s fully equipped for individual focus, as well as group tasks.
We have clear agreements to ensure good collaboration, even when we're not physically together. With the best ICT tools, used by other Visma companies, we stay connected with each other, our clients, and the global Visma community.
Human + No-Nonsense = Syntegro
Syntegro breathes workforce management. We are a company with extensive expertise and a hands-on mentality. We believe this should go hand in hand with open and honest communication with each other, our clients, and our partners.
As Philippe Loos from Kingfisher Recruitment confirms the great collaboration:
"Syntegro is a company that is people-oriented towards its employees, while also representing a strong technical product in the market."
Elke Pringels, HR Director for Benelux & Nordics at Yusen Logistics, emphasizes how we combine this people-oriented work environment with a no-nonsense approach: action-oriented, honest, and transparent.
Building a Culture Pays Off
At Syntegro, we believe that a strong culture is a solid foundation for job satisfaction and growth. The numbers prove it. With a 98% participation rate in our monthly satisfaction survey, we achieve an eNPS of 70%.
This means seven out of ten employees rate us 9/10 or 10/10.
This high level of engagement among colleagues has certainly contributed to Syntegro's strong growth over the past six years. We increased our revenue tenfold, and the number of employees rose from 10 to 50.
Of course, there are areas for improvement. As a fast-growing company, it remains a challenge to balance workloads across different teams. For this reason, we are continually expanding our team.
The Best for Each Other and Every Client
At Syntegro, we believe that a strong company culture is not an end goal but an ongoing process. By focusing on flexibility, humanity, responsibility, and transparent communication, we continue to build on our success.
