Essenters about collaboration

Joost (Marketing Analist) en Susanne (Senior Project Manager) tell about how they experience team work at Essent.

''Having fun with my colleagues and focusing on the same goal"

The Essent DNA

"Working at Essent is reallt fun, because we have the healthy ambition to continuously be the best part of yourself. And we motivate each other in this in a nice way", explains Joost. Susanne adds: "The strong desire to work and perform together is actually part of the Essent DNA. For me, this means that I have fun with my colleagues and that we truly move forward towards our goal."

According to Joost Essent is, despite the amount of employees, a very flat organization structure. "Essent seems like a big corporate organization, but in fact, this is not what I experience. Connections are made fast". He believes that work relationships determine for a great deal success and job satisfaction. "When you have fun together, as a team you are able to perform better and realize results".

Colleagues

How colleagues interact with each other, explains Susanne: "The relationship between colleagues at Essent is very informal. For instance, everyone uses the informal ‘you’, whether you are the CEO or a client advisor". At Essent, there are no fixed workplaces or fixed offices. "This makes it possible to meet and get to know each other."

Susanne agrees that it is advantageous to meet colleagues after working hours. "Having a drink or, as we are located in Brabant, celebrating carnaval. That is something I think is very typical for and pleasant about working at Essent".

Joost experiences a true team spirit in his team: "We organize things together. We have a group app with our team in which we share lame jokes and movies. When someone has a specific hobby, like brewing beer, we are all invited to taste beers".
