Everyone at Pon is Fit for work

Pon Fit represents well-being and vitality at work.

Health is the ability to adapt as an individual and decide for yourself how to deal with social, physical and emotional challenges in life. From Pon Fit, we support our employees in this. Because everyone should be able to function optimally at work and at home.

In this, we support each other. We create a safe and healthy work environment together. Employees participate in their own way and have their own responsibility, but can rely on the expertise of Pon Fit.

And last but not least: good health is inextricably linked to pleasure!

Summer and Winter Labs – These are developmental workshops with a low threshold that are organized twice a year within Pon, for all employees. These workshops like ‘Parents and Balance’, ‘From stress to enthusiasm’ or ‘Agile/Scrum training’, help to promote employees’ vitality and sustainable employability. These workshops are accessible for everyone.

Management traineeship – Twice yearly Pon selects the ‘jewels’ among Dutch students to take part in the Pon Management Traineeship program. This 20-month program develops the competences of young talent. They also get the opportunity to grow into a management role within five to seven years at Pon.
