Get acquainted with... Sonja Groenewegen

In this edition of 'Get acquainted with...', we introduce you to Sonja Groenewegen. Sonja has been with us for over 10 years. A familiar face within the organization. High time to let her tell you a bit more about who she is, what motivates her and what her work activities are.

Sonja is 46 and lives in Naaldwijk together with her husband Patrick and their two sons Rick and Max. She likes walking and can be found at the gym three times a week working on her health. "In our family, we are all sporty," Sonja tells us. "And although the kids have their own sports clubs and holidays with friends, they also enjoy going on holidays with us.” For Sonja, this is joy and some time for each other. "Because it is always quite busy in the Groenewegen house".

She is an administrative assistant, and, in that position, she is - among other things - responsible for time registration, invoicing and accounts payable. Before she started at Snijpunt, she worked as a telephonist/receptionist and administrative assistant at a construction company for 12 years. Before she was a secretary at another construction company.

With her frankness and cheerful personality, it is always nice to have Sonja around. With her, you know exactly where you stand, and that reflects well on her.

When we ask Sonja what she likes about working at Snijpunt, she doesn't have to think about it for long. "Snijpunt has grown tremendously in recent years, and we are always busy with innovation and new challenges. The work is therefore never monotonous. We work hard but having a good time and having fun together is also important." She also finds that the different cultures and people make the work very versatile. "It is never boring here."

Sonja finds it is important to keep motivating each other with a positive attitude. "With a friendly mutual atmosphere and cooperation with each other, you can achieve a lot and get a lot done." Positivity and interest in each other and each other's work improve cooperation and create a pleasant working climate. "As a result, you work with each other and with great pleasure on a beautiful, finished product."

The promises and core values of Snijpunt are right up Sonja's street. "They are exactly what I stand for. If you can trust each other, respect each other, and approach each other in a positive way, you will have great cooperation and you will continuously improve and especially stimulate each other."

Sonja invites Nigel to join the next newsletter. "Nigel works in the technical department. This is a busy department within our company. I am very curious!"
