"Taking responsibility produces a stronger team and better results."
A flexible network organisation by giving and taking responsibility.
VINCI Energies is an extremely versatile organisation with a large amount of expertise. We offer that recognisably to the market under our network brands Axians, Actemium, and Omexom. Within those brands we serve a number of different market segments from the business units. The business units work together in changing compositions. Our network organisation is highly flexible.
This approach works because we give our employees room to be entrepreneurial. And by giving them the corresponding responsibility and the responsibility that is part of their place and role in our organisation. They take that responsibility too. That makes ‘Responsibility’ an important value in our organisation.
“Taking responsibility produces a stronger team and better results.”
“It is of course the responsibility of every employee to do what needs to be done and to do it in the best possible way. In the end that produces the best results for the client and increases the chance of a long-lasting relationship with the client. When everyone you work with takes responsibility, that produces a strong and safer team. How to deal with risks is also part of responsibility. During work it is everyone’s responsibility to produce an inventory of the risks to themselves and their colleagues and to make the right choices without fail.”
“Taking responsibility is important to us, irrespective of the job you have within our business unit. It is not just the mechanics or supervisors but also the engineers, work planners and the other jobs in our network organisation. We often work together with colleagues from other business units. That only works well if we can rely on the fact that everyone takes their responsibility. And that’s precisely what they do. Clients notice that.”
