In the coming years, PostNL will employ thousands of additional parcel deliverers. The company thus gives an impulse to three crucial elements of its working method: as many permanent employment contracts as possible, sustainable partnerships and climate-friendly delivery. The aim is that in the long term at least half of all parcels in the Netherlands will be delivered by parcel deliverers who are employed by PostNL. That's now 1.900 people and that's going to be about 6.000. Delivery entrepreneurs are actively encouraged to grow in order to enable further professionalization and sustainability. Employment is and remains the standard for parcel deliverers who work for delivery companies.

As many permanent employment contracts as possible

In the coming years, PostNL will employ thousands of additional parcel deliverers itself. So that in the long term at least half of all parcels will be delivered by parcel deliverers who are employed by PostNL. In order to be able to respond effectively to developments in the postal and parcels market, PostNL must constantly adapt. This requires investments in innovation and sustainability, but also in good work and commissioning. For example, in 2015, all self-employed workers were offered a permanent contract with PostNL, a collective labor agreement is the standard for all people who work at and for the company and all postal deliverers immediately receive a permanent contract. PostNL also works closely with sheltered workshops across the country to provide work for some 1.600 people with a distance to the labor market.
