Job blog: Outsource Force: from unburdening clients to supervising personnel

Achmed Erassan

Achmed Erassan, along with his team, is responsible for the day-to-day management within Outsource Force. And that involves a ho0p. Not only do they work hard at Rietveldenweg 40 in Den Bosch to optimally relieve each client, but the employees are also laying a nice foundation towards a (new) future.

"Working at Outsource Force (part of Job Investment Group, ed.) is not the end goal for our employees," says Achmed, who is responsible for planning and supervising the candidates. "Most of the employees in the workshop have a backpack and are people who came to us through the municipality, for example. Think of people with a distance to the labor market or new Dutch citizens. Each person has his or her own instructions and needs to be treated differently. That is and remains a challenge, but a very enjoyable one."

"We train work and social skills so that people can eventually stand on their own two feet. That is sometimes a challenge, because some candidates are not used to the Dutch way of working or have a language deficiency. But this guidance is especially beautiful and rewarding. Working together towards a new step, (fully) integrating into the market in order to be able to build a normal life."

What kind of work can be outsourced to Outsource Force?

"We mainly do stickering, packing, repacking and small assembly. We work for companies from all kinds of industries and are always open to new assignments. It is then my job to plan everything well and make sure there are enough workers available. In doing so, I notice that we are more well-known than before. Unburdening our client and guiding our people is the primary goal of Outsource Force."

Why should a company choose to work with Outsource Force?

"Unlike other (social) workshops, we do manage productivity. So for a company that wants its products quickly, we can easily meet the deadline. In addition, our employees are supervised daily by our own job coaches, which guarantees that the work is done neatly. We're on top of things and don't settle for half-assed work. And we're just an incredibly fun company. I've been here six months now and everyone who works here is working really hard for the business and doing it with a lot of fun. That's great to see."

"When I am satisfied? When the employees end up in a good place, are able to perform independently and grab life. And of course also when the work is done well, our customers are happy and come back to us next time. Every company is supposed to be socially engaged for a bit, right?"
