Meet the Fenna's!

A story about our Office Managers
Abstract

Whether you have a meeting at the Youwe office or it is your first workday, our Office and Happiness Managers are here for you. For over 8 years Fenna Veenema makes everyone feel welcome and at home at our office in Groningen South. By opening the door with a friendly smile, offering a cup of coffee and popping confetti for new coworkers, she contributes to a happy workplace.   

That sounds good, doesn’t it? Youwe Rotterdam also quickly noticed how nice it is to have an office manager. "We also need a Fenna!" the team in Rotterdam said regularly. So, the search for their own Fenna began.  You are not going to believe what the name of our new office manager in Rotterdam is… Fenna! 

Now we have a ‘Fenna Groningen’ and ‘Fenna Rotterdam’, for convenience we will also use these names in this Life at Youwe story.  We want you to meet the Fenna’s, because they will likely be the first faces you will see when entering our offices. In this Life at Youwe they both share why being an office manager at Youwe is rewarding, important and challenging.  

The first impression when entering an office is very important, you want to make someone feel at home right away. “I enjoy being the person who can provide a pleasant office experience for someone.” Fenna Rotterdam said. 

Our Fenna’s are indispensable. Between organizing office meetings, arranging the best company outings, engaging with coworkers, keeping the office well-stocked, as an office manager, you have to be able to handle a wide variety of tasks and responsibilities.  

In addition, Fenna in Rotterdam is dealing with the move to our new office! A chaotic and busy time, where an office manager is very needed. In these busy and chaotic times, Fenna Groningen is here for you! She provides daily morning meditations and MindFit at our office. “A calm start of the day is very important”. Our Fenna’s are very focused on constantly improving the environment at work. Happiness at work means feeling safe, being yourself and having fun while working. Even if it is good already, there is always room for improvement! 

They are the point of contact for questions, issues or if you just feel like having a chat or a little advice. They can tell you the ins and outs of the office, its people, and the organization. Our office managers ensure that everything functions properly at the office, but most of all they are caring and supporting. On moments such as birthdays, accomplishments, but also the hard moments in life, the Fenna’s will make you feel special and seen. “Being thoughtful is often just about small gestures, but it shows that you care.”
