Velox introduces Vxteams: flexible, well-attuned project teams

Construction in the Netherlands is changing rapidly. It has to be more energy-friendly, data-driven and efficient. Together we are facing major challenges. This requires a different way of organizing and a different way of thinking about the deployment of personnel. That is why Velox introduces the VxTeams: flexible, well-attuned project teams of the best specialists.

At Velox, they believe that the distinction between permanent and flexible should be completely abandoned. Therefore, together with the customer, they look at total workforce management, an HR system in which strategic personnel planning is central. This is the only way to set up optimal project teams that look much more at an individual's hard and soft competencies and how they match or complement each other.

Aligned project teams have many advantages. For example, Velox is convinced that failure costs can easily be reduced by 2 to 3 percent if you organize it properly at the front end. In addition, you will see that you need fewer people on a project to do the same amount of work. Job satisfaction will increase, which in turn leads to less turnover and better results.

Kisito Zonneveld, director at Velox: "Together with the customer, we look mainly at the availability and quality of the person. This is not only about hard skills and expertise, but also about soft skills. After all, what kind of personality someone has and how they fit into the team is just as important as whether they understand their job well."

Wesly Verhaert (Van Wijnen) works on project Oostenburg a lot with project teams. "On a project like Oostenburg, you just need a flexible shell. The size and complexity made us engage with Velox." Gerard Geurtjes, Project Director Schiphol A-pier also sees a great importance in a team that works well together: "We work here with integrated teams. The success of such a team depends on good cooperation between all the specialists."
