Hey Olivier 👋
Olivier Carlier is HR Manager at Toyota Material Handling, Belgium's market leader in forklifts and forklift trucks. With about 250 employees, divided between office and field staff, Olivier has an important role in ensuring well-being in the workplace.
👉 Welfare as a top priority
"Wellness has become a top priority for us in recent years," says Olivier. "The COVID crisis made us realize the importance of responding to mental health. Employees have come under tremendous pressure, and organizations must realize that investing in wellness is not only morally sound, but also a smart business decision. Happy employees make for happy customers, and that is an essential part of our success!"
👉 Creative welfare initiatives
Olivier has introduced several unique wellness initiatives that go beyond standard solutions. "We have established an activities committee that organizes various events, from ping-pong tournaments to fun padel competitions. This not only promotes team spirit, but also makes work a lot more fun!"
"In addition, we have created a healthy work environment with free fruit and soup, and our beverage offerings have been converted to healthier choices through Dripl. These initiatives are not only focused on physical health, but also on creating a positive culture where employees feel truly seen."
👉 Access to benefits
"In addition to our wellness initiatives, we have launched the 'Benefits at Work' platform, where employees can access discounts at various brands," Olivier explained.
"This initiative has been especially well received in times of high inflation because it helps employees save money on daily expenses. It is a practical way to provide additional support to our employees."
👉 Measure your impact
Olivier stresses the importance of measuring the impact of wellness initiatives. "We look closely at turnover rates and other KPIs to evaluate the effectiveness of our wellness policies. In recent years, we have been able to reduce our turnover significantly, from about 20% to an impressive 10%. And those numbers speak for themselves! This shows that our efforts are producing results and that employees are feeling more and more at home."
👉 A strong employer brand
"A strong wellness policy helps us stand out in the job market," says Olivier. "It allows us not only to be an attractive employer for new employees, but also to retain our current employees. Creating a positive work culture and a good working environment is essential to our employer branding and allows us to attract and retain talent."
