We rely on dialogue when it comes to promoting interests. During the discussion we always arrive at creative, new solutions. It is our personal approach that distinguishes us from other representative bodies.

We have been promoting the interests of professionals in high-tech industries since 1949. At the time, we were one of the first senior staff associations in the Netherlands. We started for N.V. Philips Gloeilampenfabriek (Philips Lightbulb Factory), but we soon became actively involved for members in a broad range of high-tech companies.

From the beginning we have been promoting the interests of our members in a social, fair and proactive manner. The opinion of our members is extremely important; both with regard to negotiations on a CAO and for providing individual customisation.

We rely on dialogue when it comes to promoting interests. During the discussion we always arrive at creative, new solutions. It is our personal approach that distinguishes us from other representative bodies. By talking and listening to each other, we can connect people and support the careers of our members. Only in extreme cases, when dialogue has failed and/or our values are at stake, will we act with strong interventions to safeguard the interests of our members.
