Randstadters are Workraters

On May 22nd it became official: Randstad colleagues John, Astrid, Dennis, Gigi, Hedwig, and Tanya were formally welcomed as Workraters — on paper too! Of course, we couldn’t let this moment pass unnoticed. To celebrate their official transition to Workrate, they were showered with flowers at the office. HR Director EMEA Mariëlle Visser explains the practical side of this change for office employees, and Coordination Lead Dennis van der Ven shares how he experienced it as a brand-new Workrater.

Mariëlle: “The integration of Randstad Bewaking and Workrate is in full swing! We had already welcomed our new colleagues to their new workplace in March, but on paper, they were still employed by Randstad Security. That changed on May 22nd with the signing of their new contracts. It was an important moment for the office team as they formally closed their Randstad chapter. To ensure a smooth transition, we discussed changes in employment conditions and Workrate’s way of working. We also organized an information session about the pension plan at Workrate, so everyone is well-informed. With all these steps, we hope our Randstad colleagues will quickly feel part of the Workrate team!”

 

Dennis: “I’ve been part of Randstad Bewaking for 31 years, so it was definitely an adjustment when I heard we were merging with Workrate. But I immediately felt at ease when I walked into the Workrate office! I was pleasantly surprised. The warm welcome, great support, kind colleagues, and relaxed atmosphere — I feel completely at home here and am really enjoying myself!”
