Learn about our colleagues’ daily lives through influencers

On Thursday 21 October, the Youca Action Day took place: more than 70 enthusiastic students spent a day in our various departments!

At bpost group, we are very proud of the work and investment of all our employees. bpost group represents more than 34,000 employees worldwide. These employees work every day to build the future of all postal and e-commerce operators.

bpost is a company in the midst of a huge transformation. That’s only been accentuated by the exceptional period we are experiencing together at the moment. A period in which wave was followed by wave, characterized, by turns, by strict lockdowns, rollbacks and new prospects. That these changes have a big impact on employees is unavoidable.
 

17 May is International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia The rainbow flag at Centre Monnaie/Muntcentrum symbolizes bpost’s commitment to giving everyone equal opportunities. More than words, it’s actions that count. “And I’m incredibly grateful to bpost for that. When I came out as transgender I received the full support of management and all the colleagues in the mail center,” says postwoman Helena Vanmelkebeke (47).

28 April is World Superheroes Day. A day to celebrate the people we look up to. That list includes Superman and Batman, of course. But there are people who go that extra mile to help others in our everyday lives too. During this pandemic, across bpost group, we see heroes everywhere. People who pull out all the stops to provide excellent service to our customers.

It is almost that time of the year. Soon, we will welcome thousands of students at bpost. During the summer months, they will be joining our teams in the mail centres, sorting centres and retail offices to carry out the job of postman/woman, commercial assistant, warehouse worker or sorter.

Today, on International Women's Day, we would like to put the faces of bpost in the spotlight.

After graduating in Applied Economics and Strategic Management, Emily went in search of her first professional experience. She started as a Finance Trainee at bpost and now works in our Sales & Marketing department.

More than 34,000 employees – from sorter to delivery staff – work hard every day to ensure that a letter, parcel or card sent with love makes your day more convenient, more friendly and more fun. Postman Keanu (26) embodies the enthusiasm and drive of bpost people as much as anyone.

Do you need a secondary school diploma to make a nice career for yourself? It certainly helps, although motivation and an inquisitive mind are just as valuable. Shara and Abdellah’s journey at bpost are proof of that. They were given the opportunity to earn their secondary school diploma, with the full backing of bpost.

Our story is a we-story. We are an inclusive employer and encourage diversity. At bpost everyone who wants it is given opportunities and the space to grow, everyone has a place.
