Manuport Logistics wins Employer of the Year Award from Transport & Logistics

About MPL's company culture

Building a great team culture doesn't happen overnight; it is fostered by numerous day-to-day actions in which every team member contributes. As a service provider, our people are our greatest asset. We therefore believe it is extremely important that our people feel appreciated and are able to use their talents to the best of their abilities. In doing so, we always try to consider the individual situation of each colleague. The CEO knows you by name, and your team leader is happy to congratulate your son on his first communion. We have the family approach of an SME, but in a vibrant, fast-growing international company. So it's the best of both worlds.

Manuport Logistics' slogan is "Be Different – Be MPL". We think it is important that everyone is given the space to be themselves. Being "different" has anything but negative connotations for us. Our organization is a mishmash of personalities, but they all have the same drive and dynamism that characterizes us at MPL. We have no Kafkaesque situations or unwieldy policies. Procedures are fast, flexible, and customized. Business decisions are also taken very quickly. This is partly made possible by the flat and informal company structure. This means that even if you don't fit into a pigeonhole, your talent will still be allowed to blossom.'

About our ‘Stay Positive & Covid Negative’ project

When the COVID-19 pandemic started, we acted quickly as a company. We rapidly switched to structural working from home, and we immediately started updating our office by installing automatic doors, disinfection stations, and safety screens. We also provided face masks and wipes. This allowed us to welcome our colleagues back into our office as soon as the government allowed it. But not every colleague had the same needs. There were colleagues who wanted to put safety first, while others found that psychosocial well-being was a greater priority. Finding this balance was the most important thing for us. We certainly took into account the mental impact of the corona crisis on our employees: working from home, losing connection with colleagues, sometimes difficult family situations, etc. Because we are a company that really commits to its employees, we acted fast.  Examples of some of our initiatives include: building an MPL Lounge and rooftop where our colleagues can have lunch (outside), organizing after-work events, meetings, a chef cooking healthy food three times a week, waffles on Blue Monday, MPL hoodies, French fries in the parking lot, a birthday event for our CEO, personal onboarding, Friday drinks, … During the year-end period, our team leaders even visited every team member with a gift.
