Does VDL organise activities outside working hours?

As VDL colleagues, we like to see each other not only during working hours, but also outside! There are regular activities in which you can take part. For example, your company's staff association regularly organises fun outings. VDL Groep also organises (sporting) activities where you can meet colleagues from other VDL companies. Such as our annual football tournament, a tennis tournament and you can come along on a motorbike weekend. Networking events are organised especially for VDL employees under the age of 35 by our YVE group (Young VDL Employees). These range from educational events such as guided tours and workshops to more informal activities such as business games or Friday afternoon drinks. Last but not least, we organise a phenomenal VDL party for thousands of colleagues with various halls and the famous artists.
