Coolblue culture
Coolblue has a unique business culture. That is who we are, what we stand for, what connects us, and how we treat each other. Our culture is rooted in 4 core values: Unconventional, Friends, Flexible, and Go for It. We find these so important that they are on our walls and come back in all our events and traditions.
Traditions
We have a lot of Coolblue traditions. For example, we put our jubilees in the spotlight with their own Gallery of the Greats portrait and a gift package. Every month, dozens of Coolbluers celebrate their 5-, 10-, 15-, or 20-year anniversary at Coolblue. We also thank all Coolbluers for their hard work every year with an unconventional Christmas package.
Events
All our events adhere to our core values. For example, we celebrate Christmas in October and roll through the mud as a big friend group at Mud Masters. During Mother's Day and Father's Day at Coolblue, Coolbluers can proudly show their mother and father (figures) their workplace. We consider which event best suits every target audience within Coolblue. Every year, we paint the town blue for our office employees and throw a big Coolblue party. And we organize a big Coolblue soccer tournament with unconventional games and a barbecue for our delivery drivers.
Coolblue Careers
Careers instead of jobs
At Coolblue, we believe in careers instead of jobs. That is why we offer our Coolbluers the right tools to become a little bit better every day. With success, because over half of our 6,000 Coolbluers took the next step into a different function within the company. We often do things ourselves at Coolblue, like creating our commercials. We also have our own infrastructure with our own delivery service, store, warehouse, and more. This means there are a lot of different roles within the company, so there is always a suitable next step to take.
Suniversity
At our Suniversity, we help Coolbluers with the next step in their career by training them to become certified solar panel and charging station installers. We do this in our own training facility and in the field.
Schuurschool
At the Schuurschool in our Package Park, we turn students into logistic experts in 2 years. They work in our mega warehouse for 3 or 4 days a week and attend lessons in our own classroom once a week. The students get paid, even on their lesson day. They learn all about logistic processes, from theory to practice, with a certified diploma and a chance at a fixed contract as a result.
Coolblue University
In our Coolblue University, we offer courses, e-learning modules, and internal internships to all Coolbluers.
Workspaces
At Coolblue, we invest in our Coolbluers and their workspaces throughout the country. In all our stores, depots, from home, or at the office in the Netherlands, Belgium, or Germany. We even turned our warehouse into a Package Park.
Coolbluers work with the latest laptops and receive Home Office Credit, including a comfortable desk and desk chair. Our offices have ergonomic workspaces and unconventional meeting rooms. We are proud of these locations. And we are happy to show them to our friends and family during the Coolblue Father's and Mother's Day as well as the Family and Friends Day.
