Samen Sterk in Eindhoven
Are you a colleague in Eindhoven? Good news: Samen Sterk activities are now also available here! As a Marel employee, you receive 8 hours per year to invest in your sustainable employability. You can use these hours for free workshops, trainings, coaching, your own initiative, or for a social purpose. But first, let us introduce our team in Eindhoven!
Meet the VerSTERKers
To make sure Samen Sterk matches your needs and wishes, we’ve brought together a group of enthusiastic VerSTERKers in Eindhoven. These colleagues help shape the program, promote activities, and are happy to answer any questions you may have about Samen Sterk or the activities.
“Hi, I’m Michal and I’m 26 years old, originally from Poland. I have been working at Marel for a year and currently serve as a team leader in the warehouse at GDC Eindhoven. Since a young age, I have been actively involved in volunteer work, school events, and workplace initiatives. Organizing events, planning trips, and bringing people together is something I truly enjoy. That’s why I joined Samen Sterk—to help my colleagues see how easy and valuable it is to do something great for themselves. Don’t waste time wondering if it’s worth it—it is! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. As an ambassador for Samen Sterk in Eindhoven, it is my honor to help!”
“Hello, I’m Irina. I entered the world of Marel in the spring of 2024. The company’s welcoming culture made me eager to join it and I am excited to be part of the team in Eindhoven. My working experience began in the educational system once, as I hold degrees in Education & Linguistics. But then I decided to make a switch for a more challenging and dynamic role and stepped into the corporate life.
Besides work, I love anything outdoors, and when Dutch weather permits, I like cycling & canoeing. I adore nature and enjoy spending time in my garden. I am excited to act as an ambassador for Samen Sterk in Eindhoven. It is a brilliant initiative that allows you to keep developing yourself and learn something new.”
“Hi, I’m Sally Garcia. I joined the company in April 2024, and I’ve had the chance to grow both professionally and personally. Participating in the Well-Being Challenge in November 2024 was a refreshing and valuable experience. It helped me build healthier habits, prioritize self-care, and approach each day with more balance and energy. Attending the Zen in Your Career/Meditation workshop this February reinforced this mindset, reminding me how important it is to take care of ourselves—both at work and in life.
That’s why Samen Sterk stands out to me: it focuses on these aspects, promoting happiness and well-being not just in the workplace, but beyond. I’m excited to become an ambassador and help create a positive impact while supporting my colleagues on their own well-being journey.”
