The importance of wellbeing and an inspiring workplace in a warehouse
Is your warehouse simply a storage facility, or can it also be a source of motivation? For many, the concept of a warehouse is synonymous with a large, impersonal space. But what if a warehouse could be more than that? What if it could be a place that not only promotes efficiency but also strengthens the branding and wellbeing of employees?

For many, the concept of a warehouse is synonymous with a large, impersonal space. But what if a warehouse could be more than that? What if it could be a place that not only promotes efficiency but also strengthens the branding and wellbeing of employees? This is not merely a dream scenario but a reality created through innovative partnerships such as that between Beliving and WDP.
Thomas Vaarten, CCO of Beliving, emphasises how essential it is that all employees, including seasonal workers, do not feel like second-class workers.
Working in a warehouse can feel like working in a dime a dozen place. That is what we want to break through.
This pursuit of a unique experience is clear in Beliving’s approach, with a strong focus on strong branding and an attractive working environment. Thanks to WDP’s expertise, significant steps have been taken to increase wellbeing in the workplace.
For example, picnic tables have been placed to be able to live by the motto of Exterioo, “Hoe buiten, hoe beter” (litterally “the more outside the better”) also at work. The canteen has been transformed into a space that not only serves for enjoying meals but also as a centre for social interaction and relaxation.
The results of these efforts are remarkable. Employees feel more connected to the brand and handle products with more care. This has not only led to higher productivity but also to stronger brand loyalty and an increase in attracting suitable talent. Employees are more engaged in the ‘why’ of the company and are therefore more motivated.
The collaboration with WDP is highly appreciated by Beliving. WDP shares the same values and puts people at the centre, also in the warehouse. “For us it is also important that WDP follows us up as a customer very well and relieves us,” Vaarten adds.
An inspiring and motivating workplace is the cornerstone of your employer brand. There is a direct link between employee well-being and the design of their working environment. In the office or in the warehouse: an inviting space puts people at ease and increases the engagement and productivity of employees.
WDP experts advise on wellbeing at work and develop workplaces where people give their best. With smart designs tailored to your company’s identity. From a coffee corner to a fitness area and attractive green zones: WDP transforms your site into a place where people enjoy spending time and working. All this shows that a warehouse can be much more than just a storage facility; it can be a foundation for business success and employee satisfaction.
