Aletta: I can only speak for myself, not for our employees, but I certainly feel that way. Together, we're strong. We work hard, but we also have fun together now and then. We highly respect one another. Achievements are noticed, praised and rewarded. This could also be the situation in a business that isn't run by its owner, but it's especially obvious at Frederique Constant. Our team character is very strong. We try to act in a straightforward way. We avoid political intrigues. If we discovered political wrangling, we wouldn't tolerate it. Peter: That's not solely due to the familial aspect. Our Dutch mentality also plays a role. We Dutch tend to be open and direct. We prefer colleagues who speak openly and tell us how they feel rather than buttoning their lips and nursing a grudge. Whenever an issue arises, we discuss it and make every effort to find solutions. No Fields Found.
