ETB has grown in recent years into the largest Dutch-speaking BPO in Turkey, with more than 1,200 Dutch-speaking employees. We are also steadily expanding in Suriname. The combination of locations in Turkey and Suriname gives ETB an ideal footprint for the Dutch market. \u201cThe combination of Suriname and Turkey allows us to quickly find the right talent for our clients. In Suriname, we can scale up the fastest, which helps manage incidental or seasonal peaks, focusing more on traditional inbound customer contact. Meanwhile, in Turkey, we offer multiple languages as well as technical and sales profiles. This enables us to respond quickly to our clients&#8217; diverse needs, regardless of their size or sector,\u201d explains Sander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Multilingual Offering<\/strong><br>One of ETB\u2019s biggest advantages is our multilingual capacity, which enables us to serve clients across a range of sectors and languages. In addition to Dutch, we offer services in English, German, French, and Scandinavian languages, reaching a broad range of European markets. Most of our employees have a strong affinity with these countries, which means they not only excel in the language but also communicate effectively within the cultural context of these markets. This results in a service that aligns both linguistically and culturally with our clients&#8217; needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Omni-Sourcing Capability<\/strong><br>ETB distinguishes itself with its omni-sourcing solutions, which allow us to serve the entire customer chain. \u201cWe offer a complete package of services: from customer contact and back office to credit management, financial services, IT services, and HR services,\u201d says Sander. \u201cThis makes us the one-stop- shop BPO for companies seeking a reliable partner for all their operational needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ETB as Main Sponsor<\/strong><br>As part of the 100-year anniversary of friendship between the Netherlands and Turkey, Ambassador Joep Wijnands recently visited ETB\u2019s office in Ankara. He expressed his appreciation for the company\u2019s innovative approach and emphasized that ETB, as the largest employer of Dutch speakers in Turkey with its broad range of services, makes a positive contribution to cooperation between both countries. The ambassador was very pleased with ETB\u2019s sponsorship of the embassy\u2019s activities for the anniversary year<br>and highlighted the importance of companies like ETB as main sponsors in celebrating this milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Innovative Future<\/strong><br>Innovation is a top priority at ETB Support Solutions. With the emergence of (Generative) AI, the company now sees solutions that truly enhance the lives of both clients and employees. \u201cWe are investing heavily in new technologies to improve our services,\u201d says Sander. \u201cAI allows us to automate processes and work more efficiently without compromising quality or personal attention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Values &amp; Culture<\/strong><br>ETB\u2019s core values form the foundation of its success. \u201cWe believe that ownership, transparency, social responsibility, and (of course) having a lot of fun at work are the right ingredients for providing excellent service,\u201d shares Sander. \u201cBut the true strength of ETB lies in the close bond between our employees.\u201d ETB employees feel almost like a family, which is one of our absolute unique selling points. This strong culture ensures that we excel as a team and provide our clients with the best possible service.\u201d The company is also proud of its certification as a Great Place to Work. \u201cThis recognition confirms that we are on the right track,\u201d says Sander. \u201cThe well-being and engagement of our employees are essential to delivering outstanding services to our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CSR Projects<\/strong><br>During Ambassador Joep Wijnands\u2019 visit, we outlined our CSR guidelines and sustainability objectives. We informed him about our collaboration with WWF-T\u00fcrkiye as part of the \u2018Adopt a Beach\u2019 program, through which we have adopted a coastline in Riva, Istanbul, and conduct cleanups of waste and litter three times a year. Additionally, we plant a tree for each employee in Urla, Izmir, and continue this for each new employee to contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. We are also proud that our locations in Turkey have achieved the Zero Waste certificate issued by the government, underscoring our commitment to waste reduction and addressing climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GDPR and ISO Certifications<\/strong><br>ETB Support Solutions understands better than anyone how sensitive the client and employee data we handle daily is, which is why we invest heavily in the security, reliability, and quality of our services. \u201cAt ETB Support Solutions, we have an internal Data Protection Officer (DPO) who ensures we comply with all relevant regulations, including the Dutch GDPR, the European GDPR, and Turkey\u2019s KVKK. This helps us work safely and responsibly, both for our clients and our employees,\u201d says Sander. \u201cWe hold the following ISO certificates: ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 18295, ISO 27701, and ISO 14001. Adhering to ISO standards helps organizations create products and services that are safe, reliable, and of high quality. Furthermore, ISO certification helps us increase productivity while simultaneously reducing errors and waste. This is essential for meeting our clients\u2019 expectations and continuously improving ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Future Vision<\/strong><br>With the addition of Sander Kuijer as CCO, ETB looks confidently to the future. \u201cOur ambition is to elevate ETB to an even higher level,\u201d says Sander. \u201cWe want to further strengthen our market position and enter into new partnerships.\u201d A key part of this strategy is to expand our relationship with the Dutch market. \u201cWe see enormous opportunities in various sectors and want to show Dutch companies how we can support their growth ambitions,\u201d adds Sander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><br>With the arrival of Sander Kuijer as the new CCO, ETB is ready to expand its ambitious plans and achieve positive results. With a focus on innovation, a broad range of services, and a strong, family-like culture, the company is well-positioned to further increase its influence in the market. \u201cWe are ready for the next step,\u201d concludes Sander. \u201cWith our dedicated employees and the recognition we receive from our clients, I look forward with enthusiasm to what the future will bring.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the arrival of Sander Kuijer as the new Chief Commercial Officer of ETB, the company is taking an important step toward realizing its ambitious growth plans and further strengthening its position as a leading omni-sourcing service provider.
