Melissa, Continuous Improvement Coordinator
at Zehnder since 2018
After my BA degree I went searching for an international company that produced meaningful, high-quality products. That's why Zehnder was my first choice, and it remains so today. At Zehnder, I have the freedom to develop my ideas and am supported along the way.
As Continuous Improvement Coordinator, it is part of my job to improve the production processes. I work at the intersection of many interesting areas and bring future-oriented projects forward. This work suits me since I have a lot of fun trying new things, organising, and optimising. I have the support of an amazing team. Even as a newcomer to the profession, I am taken seriously and supported. My colleagues' doors are always open for me; it's fantastic to work like this.

'I really value the freedom and responsibility that I have in my work. I am given specifications and within that framework I can do my job as I see fit. If I have questions or am uncertain, everyone is there for me; I am in good hands. It is a lot of fun to work in the open and informal culture that we have here.'
'I have gained self-confidence. When it's your first job, you often feel insecure. But at Zehnder, there's a tolerant culture that values you and encourages you to develop and follow your own ideas.'
'Definitely health, warmth, and improvement. And, of course, progress, defined by quality and innovation.'
'Young Zehnder was founded in January 2022. We want to network young professionals throughout Zehnder, no matter the department, and build bridges between higher education and career. It develops personal contacts and supports personal development between colleagues who find themselves in the same stage of life. I really like the programme, Zehnder gives us the time and space for meetings and workshops. This exchange of information is very important – it is incredibly valuable for me to be able to communicate with one another this way.'
'I see myself continuing to work in a process-oriented way; I enjoy that very much. Perhaps in a larger team or within a department with more responsibilities. I can see myself in a leadership role – as a manager.'
Melissa participates in the Young Zehnder programme, a development programme for high potentials in the Netherlands.
