Our promise to you

At bol, we believe that work is more than just a job; it should be a fulfilling part of your life. We want you to thrive and help us succeed in making bol better every single day. As we understand that love is a two-way street, we promise to take care of you in return. Because only together we are bol.

The foundation How we compensate you

Salary and bonus structure
Money talks, and we communicate clearly from day one. Our recruiters discuss salary expectations upfront, to create transparency from the get-go. On top of your salary and holiday allowance, we celebrate you, your achievements and bol’s successes with an annual bonus.  

Pension scheme
We take your future seriously – so much so that we’ve got 3/4 of your premium basic pension covered. Because securing your tomorrow is part of our job description too. 

Annual leave
Taking a breather, exploring the world, or just taking a day off? A good balance between work and relaxation is important to us. To facilitate this, all bol’ers receive 29 annual leave days to refresh and recharge. As we care about diversity and inclusivity, you have the freedom to swap official cultural and religious holidays for ones that resonate with your background.

Other perks
Whether you travel by public transport or car, we’ve got you covered with reimbursement and electric car charging facilities. To start your bol journey off right, you’ll also receive a welcome package, a laptop, and even a noise-cancelling headset. And for those home office days, simply order your desk and chair through our webshop – because we’re all about making your work life comfy and convenient.  

In a nutshell

The extras How we take care of you and the planet

A sustainable work environment
We’re not just focused on sustainability for our customers; we want to empower you to make sustainable choices too. Our annual bonus includes sustainability targets, and we provide electric shuttle buses from Utrecht Central Station to our office and back. For those with a lease car, we’re boosting our budget for electric vehicles compared to petrol ones. Plus, we’re big on waste reduction – our offices even have a ‘no-waste corner’ for lunchtime leftovers.

Your well-being matters
We care about the planet, and we care about you too. We want you to thrive both physically and mentally as we know that’s the only way to accomplish sustainable work together. These are some of our initiatives created to support your well-being:

  • Periodic vitality checks 
  • Vitality coaching 
  • Easy access to consultations with our company doctor and company psychologist 
  • Bootcamp, relaxing breathwork sessions, and daily energizers 
  • Inspirational vitality campaigns – covering topics such as movement, nutrition, recovery, and mental well-being. Featuring keynote speakers, workshops, training sessions, and activities.  

On top of all this, we understand that a healthy work-life balance is important to succeed both professionally and personally. That’s why we created a flexible, inspiring and – above all – fun work environment. 

Building a better world | Attaining B Corp certification for bol

After two years of dedication, information gathering and hard work, bol.com is now in proud possession of a B Corp certification. Sustainability Programme Manager Kirsten, was involved from the very start of the process. The result is a key milestone for her as well as the entire bol.com organisation. “As a commercial organisation, bol.com isn’t usually associated with sustainability. And that’s why it’s so amazing we’ve been able to take these steps, because we can now show that we too want to make the world a little better.”

The bol identity | How we create our unique organisation culture

At bol, we believe we can do better every day. It’s the driver of our culture. The fundament for how we operate. We have a total of five cultural beliefs, which clearly define what we stand for as organisation. Fine words and magnificent goals, but how do we ensure that the story actually comes to life in an organisation with some 3000 colleagues? We’re talking to Bo, Employee Engagement Specialist at bol. For the past year or so, she’s been revamping the culture programme. With her team – well, actually everyone at bol.com – she ensures that our cultural beliefs not only exist on paper, but are also put into practice and reflected in all our colleagues’ conduct. After all, only together we are bol.

The work environment How we work together

A balanced way of working
An environment that is as flexible as your favourite yoga pose and as accommodating as your very own home. That’s what you find working at bol. You’ll typically work 50% in the office and 50% from home, but feel free to adjust this balance together with your team.  

Working from abroad
We encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and take on adventures. You are therefore offered the possibility to work from abroad for eight weeks a year, under specified terms. 

Your home away from home
Our bol locations are more than just workplaces; they are your second home.  

Our Utrecht office is called our ‘campus’, fully equipped to make the most of your day. Our enormous plaza at the heart of the campus is where you make meaningful connections, share a delicious coffee, and have an informal chat with our hospitality hosts. It’s where you’ll find the vibrant bol “buzz” that defines our culture. The one where we achieve great things working closely together. 

On campus, feel free to make use of our light and branded meeting rooms, or work from your very own workspace that’s tailored to your preferences. Whether you prefer a standing desk, a landing spot, or a quiet concentration booth, we got you covered. Need a break from creating? Then shop at AH to go, play jeu de boules in our garden, enjoy a healthy lunch prepared by our catering team, or get a workout to boost your energy.  

The magic also happens in our bol Fulfilment Centers, where we store, pack, and ship our bol packages. We’ve recreated the same lively atmosphere to make your work enjoyable, just like on campus. 

After-work fun
At bol, fun is a non-negotiable. From weekly bol drinks to grand parties, team huddles, and get-togethers, we’re all about making every day the very best day. Because here all of us aim to thrive, enjoy and succeed. Here at bol, we are creating the absolute best place to work for us all.
