You can be sure that Branch Manager Stefanie Vanhove is a jack-of-all-trades. She has been running the office in Ypres all by herself for about three months, and that can certainly be called a success! The number of domestic helpers at work is increasing, and in the meantime, more than 240 families have already been made happy with a clean home.
Since Stefanie took over Easy Life Ieper, a growth spurt has set in motion. “I tackled reliability and stability first, and that is spreading like wildfire,” she shares. “After a career in the temporary staffing and HR sector, I was ready for a new challenge, and I definitely found it in this job at service voucher agency Easy Life. Administration, contact with domestic helpers and clients, arranging replacements… It is an extensive range of tasks, and boredom is not an option. On the contrary, I always seem to be able to use a few extra hours,” she laughs.
Colleagues you can count on
Although it is busy and challenging, she hasn't regretted the switch for a single second. “I run my office like a small business owner, and I really enjoy it. Naturally, I receive excellent support from my colleagues. The vibe and camaraderie that Easy Life exuded was already a reason to choose this employer. I receive a lot of training, and the contact with my colleagues is great. Even though I work alone in the office, I feel like I am never on my own.”
What else attracts her to the job? “The versatility. Being able to manage everything well is definitely necessary. Every day I carefully check everything and follow up on everything. Furthermore, it often involves switching gears quickly and coming up with solutions.”
Further growth in Ypres
The number of families has grown significantly over the past few months and the feedback on the domestic helpers is positive, but it doesn't stop there for Stefanie. Further growth is certainly still possible. Every family is welcome, and I can quickly match them with the right cleaner. I can fulfill almost every request immediately. If the growth continues, an additional employee will join us in due course so that we can continue to provide a great service. I certainly have the ambition to make this an even bigger success story,” she adds.
