Clear rules for employees
We believe that you will get peace of mind by making clear agreements and expressing expectations. Nothing should be 'floating'. We ensure that we have margin in our planning, so that you have enough space to do your work well, even if something does not work out right away.
That margin depends on the level of seniority. For example, someone who is just starting out only needs to be productive for 6 hours, while we expect higher productivity from someone with more experience. But we do not manage by hours. Can you do your work in 4 hours a day? That is also fine. In addition, it can always happen that a fire needs to be put out, but no one is happy with us from doing ad-hoc work all day. And for that reason, at Pixelpillow you have a fixed number of days off, a defined function and we work together as much as possible at our office in Zwolle. A 9-to-5 mentality. This gives us the peace of mind to qatar telegram data do our work as well as possible, without distractions, stress and other disruptions.
We therefore consciously choose not to give our colleagues unlimited days off, because we find it clearer if everyone has the same number of days off. No unfair competition from young employees who stay longer than colleagues who have to pick up children. And no fear of asking for three weeks of vacation because no one else in your team is going away for that long. Just 25 days of vacation. That's clearer.
That may all sound a bit traditional. But hey… Let’s be a bit old-fashioned. It will become new-fangled again! The most important thing is that we do everything for a stable, calm base for our people. Because we believe that only then will our customers’ customers get what they deserve: a great user experience.
And now?
Hopefully our perspective on a healthy work-life balance will get you thinking. Are you an employee? Then think about whether the work you do makes you happy. You only have one life, and only one chance to make the best of it! Are you an employer? Then realize that people are your most important (and most distinctive) assets . A healthy 9-to-5 mentality ensures peace in your company, less turnover, and there is a good chance that it will be a bit more fun for you too.
