What kind of organization is Avantes, in your opinion?
When we ask Liza about her opinion of Avantes as an organization, a smile appears on her face. “An organization where a lot of attention is paid to the employees. For example, on the birthday of a colleague with a passion for camping, the entire department was decorated in a camping theme; there even was a tent!” she says, laughing. “The personal touch is really thought of when it’s someone’s birthday, leaves the company, or retires. But it’s not just that. When we can’t get the staffing right in busy times, the manager jumps in to help; we really are a team,” Liza continues.
In addition, Liza is very appreciative of the atmosphere within Avantes. “Everyone is open, friendly, and collegial. My immediate colleagues are very patient and always open to a joke between jobs. I still enjoy the work every day and find the product we make very interesting. I am therefore proud to be a part of Avantes”.
How do you see the future of Avantes?
Liza sees the future of Avantes as positive. “I think we will grow even more and become a market leader. Furthermore, our product will even have a higher quality than we already have. I see this as a great challenge for my role within Avantes,” concludes Liza.
