Vermaat offers a workplace for everyone; after all, everyone deserves a fair chance at suitable work. For us, diversity within teams is incredibly important. Different backgrounds and experiences generate different ideas. If everyone dares to share these ideas and listens to each other, creativity fizzles and new insights really emerge.
Vermaat therefore wants to be a reflection of the population at all levels. That is why we are open to anyone who wants to work in the hospitality industry and, with the help of our social partners, we know how to reach all those people so that they know they are welcome.
Increase diversity
We are certified with the Social Entrepreneurship Performance Platform (PSO) level 3. Our goal for 2027 is to increase diversity within our organization and contribute to an inclusive society in which more people can participate in the labor market, maintaining 7% SROI on the entire workforce. To provide the right guidance, we employ a team of four job coaches at Vermaat.
Vermaat Talent Game Awards
Every year we celebrate our Talent with our Talent Game Awards (TGA). We celebrate talent and highlight our colleagues who excel in hospitality based on our core values. With the TGA we give each other recognition, appreciation and a heartfelt compliment. We believe this contributes in the work happiness of our people.
Based on six categories; Hospitality Employee, Hospitality Manager, Cook, Barista, Team and All Star, you can nominate a colleague or team from Vermaat. After a nomination and audition round, the talents are put in the spotlight and finally the ‘best’ per category is chosen during the Vermaat Inspiration Market. An annual event where, together with our suppliers, we welcome and connect Vermaat colleagues, while enjoying great food and drinks.
