KLG VLOG #65 - LOGISTICS IS OUR CUP OF TEA
We are delighted with the logistics women at KLG. For them, logistics is really their cup of tea. Wednesday, March 8 was International Women`s day and we put all the women in the spotlight. For our drivers, no (French) bridge is too far. Joost shows us in this vlog some nice images of different bridges he encounters during his trip. In Waalwijk we have made a number of adjustments, to work even more safely. Next to that, we are also surprised by Meet the Youngsters and received a cake for being the frontrunner in the election Most Attractive Employer. The ballot boxes for the last round of the election Most Attractive Employer are open again. Will you help us keep this title?

Our drivers get everywhere, loading and unloading at various places in many different industries. Our driver Joost shows us a very special unloading address this week. Something you would not expect. The construction of the new building in Eersel is starting to take shape and the colleagues are looking forward to the move. As a foretaste, the colleagues get a tour at the construction site.
Working together and sharing information is the basis of knowledge sharing. Through our new initiative the "KLG Knowledge Café," we take colleagues through different business cases. With a presentation, they get a picture of the work in which they themselves are not always closely involved but which are interesting and instructive. Team building with colleagues but also contact and maintenance with parties in our own network is important for the success of our organization.

The first vlog of 2023 is a fact. This makes it the first of 12 new exciting vlogs this year that will give you a look behind the scenes at KLG. Last year the first shovel went into the ground in Eersel and now we reached the highest point of the new construction.
Youth has the future and the logistics profession is often instilled in children from an early age. This is also with our youngest vlogger, as he is on his own driver's clogs on the road in France together with his father Joost. At KLG we have once again won prizes, for example, we recently handed out World Cup pool prizes to our sporty soccer fans. But also the prize question was answered correctly by a colleague in Rotterdam, namely; THE NEW WORKING AT KLG WEBSITE! And a new employee of the month is awarded at KLG Romania.
The ballot boxes for the election of the Most Attractive Employer are about to open and that means that we as KLG will once again compete for this coveted title! Will you help us with your votes so that we may keep this title? Do you not want to miss any KLG news? Subscribe and stay up to date on all developments, current news and cool logistics events.
KLG VLOG #62 - MIRROR MIRROR ON THE TRUCK
Mirror, mirror on the truck who is the prettiest in truck land? That is our new DAF XG+'s! Striking in our new trucks are the mirrors, or we can better say the cameras that have taken over the place of the mirrors. You can see how that works and what the advantages of those cameras are in this vlog. Our drivers are not only happy with their new DAF XG+ but were also put in the spotlight during Driver's Day. For them this day we rolled out the blue carpet and hung up the balloons because without our drivers our required goods do not reach their destination. Apart from drivers, there are perhaps 100 other logistics jobs in logistics. To inform and enthuse young people about this, we are closely involved in initiatives that contribute to this. This month we were in Venlo and The Hague to share our passion for logistics. After Saint Nicholas it is almost time for Christmas and the preparations are in full swing. Wondering how we celebrate Christmas with our colleagues at KLG? Then be sure to watch the next vlog.

Moments are to be cherished. We certainly do, but we also cherish our KLG-ers! We capture important moments, like to pay some extra attention to milestones and dwell on different moments. It always bubbles in our DNA that standing still is going backwards, but cherishing and putting them "in the spotlight" is our tradition. For example, every year we put those who contribute by being ER officers in the spotlight. We also put our new acquisitions the DAF XG+ in the spotlight! During a course, Joost proudly shows us the new features of this DAF showpiece and gives us a tour of his new workplace. And Charlotte puts the strap machine in Waalwijk "in the spotlight".

The first 50 new DAF XG+ trucks for KLG will be delivered in the coming period. During the annual drivers' meeting, the keys to the first new truck were handed over. Our loyal employees are central to us and as a token of appreciation we handed over the keys of this very first new truck to the driver who has been employed with us for the longest. In Waalwijk, we see the new wall decoration which once again emphasizes the strong partnerships with our customers. Cooperation is also important in engaging new students to the logistics sector. Continuing the digital part of " Experience the Supply Chain," it was now time for the physical part and we showed the students logistics in practice. Safety comes first for us and so we regularly organize Emergency Response training sessions. This time at the Waalwijk and Venlo branches. Besides maintaining a safe working environment, we are rapidly building the new working environment in Eersel. Construction is progressing well.

Working together, sharing knowledge and inspiring each other. These are the underlining competencies we consider important in our organization. This is how we fuel the entrepreneurship of every employee. Within a supply chain, these three topics cannot be ignored in order to optimize the entire flow. An optimal flow in which interest, risk and space are kept to a minimum. Proper coordination in this chain ensures a fast delivery time for you as consumers. This is the supply chain from sand to customer. But working together, sharing knowledge and inspiring each other within the supply chain from student and job seeker to our colleague is just as important! Without our people we cannot offer our customers our services. Our people are the engine of our organization. So, to introduce everyone to KLG and our beautiful sector we try to inspire as wide a reach as possible. This time through banners at the plot of the new building in Eersel, a digital seminar and a meet & greet with students and job seekers and through various other updates form our organization.

Learning, teaching and sharing are important elements of our stable foundation that has been there for more than 100 years. We have highlighted these topics in our previous vlogs. These elements are at the heart of our organization and that is “team”. The team behind KLG that makes KLG the organization as it is today. Every KLG-er contributes and together we achieve just that little bit more every day. Knowledge and skills are important for a stable basis and for delivering quality. In addition, long-term relationships are a focus that fits in seamlessly. We value long-term relationships with our customers, suppliers, partners and also our employees. All these facets were put in the spotlight at our Open Company Day. With the focus on the long-term and on the future, a new building is under construction for our branch in Eersel. The attention for this was also drawn by the local newspaper, Eindhovens Dagblad. In this vlog we give a tour of the building site and share the status of the construction. Together we are building our future, so we are pleased to give you the opportunity for “glimping behind our scenes”.

The youth not only have the future, but we can also learn a lot from them. At KLG, we alternate training the employee of the future with learning from the employee of the future. You can see how we do that in this vlog. You see how our graduation students present their findings and conclusions of their researches. We are making a vlog in collaboration with various other logistics companies to bring our industry to the attention of students during Experience the Supply Chain. In addition, we are awarding the “KLG Kanjer” to the intern who excelled last period and we are welcoming a group of high school students for their first introduction to logistics. From Waalwijk we give more information about an AGV and in Romania the first podcast has recently gone online. With all these initiatives, we as a team are preparing ourselves for the future. We are teaching the younger generation and learning ourself for the future.
