Growth and productivity
OTTO Work Force is literally an international company: we operate between nations. Over the past 20 years, we have gained a strong leadership position in the international placement market between many European countries. As a result of an aging population, labor market shortages are increasingly being felt in Europe. In our 2020-2025 strategy, we are also expanding to other important European countries. Because we are part of the OSI global network, we will also bring workers from Asia to Europe.
Workers in the center of attention
The ever-increasing labour market shortages are one of the biggest challenges in many European countries. Finding motivated employees is the key to growth and prosperity. If you can't find workers in your own country, look abroad.
OTTO Work Force's motto is "our people make the difference." Society is changing, and we need to know what motivates people - now and what will motivate them in the future. Who are our potential employees, what kind of life do they want to lead, are they looking for a job or do they want to pursue a career? Our strategy for 2020-2024 is titled: "The Happy Employee Journey" because we want to optimize our hiring processes, find and retain the best employees. Our work is all about people.
Marketplace
Our aim is to maintain our market leading position in the international recruitment industry in all major European countries. In addition, we aim for a leading position in our home markets in the Netherlands, Germany and Poland. As a market leader in the international staffing industry with the largest global recruitment network, OTTO delivers workers from Central and Eastern European countries to Germany and the Netherlands and from Eastern European countries to Poland. To deal with labor shortages in Europe, Otto uses labor from Asia. This means the mobility of new markets of white-collar workers from Asia to the Netherlands and Germany, and white-collar and blue-collar workers from Asia to Poland.
Our goal is to rank among the top five leaders in logistics, food and retail and assembly in the Netherlands and Poland and to become the European market leader in bringing workers from Asia to Europe.
Clients
We owe our growth to long-standing client relationships designed to optimize results for both parties. As a specialist in international labor markets, we create lasting customer relationships in logistics, manufacturing and retail with proven solutions and a highly satisfactory track record. Our goal is to create long-term relationships with our customers and employees.
Temporary workers
The growth of our company depends on the quality and motivation of our temporary workers.
Their jobs are based on skills, income, proper and timely payment of wages, and respect from their employer (customer service department). The role of "employer branding," image, and attractiveness will become increasingly important in the next few years in acquiring the right employees. That's why we offer candidates and employees opportunities to develop their skills and qualifications. We give them the opportunity to move up the career ladder through development and flexibility in current and future opportunities and offer them the prospect of a long-term relationship with the option to move between jobs or positions.
As a market leader in international staffing with the most extensive recruiting network, OTTO offers support based on an understanding of cultures in all countries and the best service to employees to ensure the best possible experience.
Management
We are growing because of our family business values, our understanding of the industry, and our proactive entrepreneurial culture. Passionate, the right people in the right place, team/focus, loyalty, creativity and embracing opportunities. Together we take care of process optimization, good communication and employee engagement. OTTO operates in an international environment, an atmosphere in which the employee can thrive and benefit from the dynamics of a fast-growing company.
OTTO employees represent the OTTO DNA, understanding the challenging marketplace and their role in planning the temporary worker journey through support and hospitality. As a dynamic organization, we are constantly looking for opportunities and improvements. Our goal is to create an employee experience based on respect, which is the common denominator.

by offering opportunities for growth, winning, losing, change and progress
by listening to the voice of the customer (VOC) and the voice of the market (VOM)
"The vast majority of foreign workers working in our country return to their countries after some time. Circular economic migration, especially from outside Europe, must be properly regulated. We should not bring in just anyone, but regulate and control the influx,” says Frank van Gool (OTTO Work Force) in his latest article for Flexmarkt.

Adrian’s task was to schedule the employees and their transport to work. He was happy he had been offered such a decent job after many months of heavy physical work in various parts of the Netherlands. “I was shocked: a guy form Poland in the Planning Department?!," says Adrian. "20 years ago, nobody in Poland heard about temporary employment agencies, let alone about working at one in a foreign...

When Irena and Janusz started working at OTTO, there were about eighty employees. A friend recommended OTTO to them and Irena and Janusz have stayed for 20 years. They came to the Netherlands as “Poles on a German passport,” which was the access pass to work on the other side of the river Oder in that time. Only in 2004, when Poland joined the European Union, a bigger number of Poles could travel to work abroad...
