- Employees have insight into and a say in the company’s direction.

- A four-day workweek is standard, promoting work-life balance and creativity.

The Semco Style in Practice
At BVDV, the Semco style means ditching traditional control-heavy management. Instead, trust is king. Employees are trusted to bring out their best, which benefits the whole organization and its clients. Transparency isn’t just a buzzword here — it’s baked into the culture. Everyone knows what’s going on, financially and organizationally, and everyone has a voice. This creates a workplace where innovation and continuity thrive.
Work-Life Balance and Employee Empowerment
BVDV believes a good balance between private life and work sparks creativity, entrepreneurship, and quality. That’s why a four-day workweek is standard, and employees decide their own salary. Everyone is effectively an entrepreneur, which keeps engagement high and costs low. This approach benefits clients too — rates stay competitive, and the quality of service remains top-notch.
