Koningsdag!

King's day, is the day when almost the entire Netherlands takes to the streets, the day where It’s a party everywhere.
This day where it’s party everywhere. This day always feels like the official opening of the season for us.


Almost all of our clients are involved in some way with the events on this day.
This also means that our agenda is filling up with around 15 different productions, all at different locations. 

Where our production department focuses on the total operation, our planning department schedules this gigantic team.

The biggest part during these productions is coordinating the staff.
All Deworriers fly out to different parts of the country. 

The construction begins, and our team spreads out in all these places between the catering and site productions and meets at lunch to discuss the day. All with a different focus or end goal for their responsibility during these productions. 


And then it's the day of the show!
I'm at Kingsland Amsterdam, in the morning when refueling I see some cheerful orange-dressed people standing around you. The atmosphere is already good.

With healthy excitement, I walk to my reception desk. My Deworrying colleagues will soon also gather here. In addition to those colleagues, about 5 employment agencies gather. Together with me, they will ensure that eventually, about 580 well-motivated bar employees provide everyone with a drink. 

The pressure is high! Not only do we want to run the bars most efficiently, but we also certainly don't want to have 580 people stand still unnecessarily for the organization.
Every hour a new group arrives, these are groups of 80 people at the same time.
We divide them in advance over the right bars, make sure they are briefed, and as soon as I hear the signal through my ear, all these 80 men, accompanied by Deworrying, shoot across the field in trains.



This is always an exciting moment, sometimes about 30 people enter the same bar at the same time. I wait from the shelter until my colleague confirms that the 30 men have arrived at their bar chief and that no one has got lost in the gigantic crowd they are maneuvering through. 


This is a continuous process until the beginning of the afternoon when you have just taken one group away, the next enthusiastic employees are already in front of you.
When the last employee is in the bar, it's time to hit the field. 


With the first step I take on the field, I can already hear the runners through the walkie-talkie. It's time for a change, breaks have to be taken per bar, the pressure on each bar is different and so we have to push people back and forth so that each bar maintains its speed.

The peaks are off, time for a break. In our group app from Deworrying, we send a happy selfie from Amsterdam. The apps are pouring in, this is the moment I'm always so proud of. Groningen, Rotterdam, Oldenzaal, and other places in Amsterdam are all rocking. Because I have 580 employees, all my colleagues face the same challenge.
Knowing that we are distant from each other in our own tight way coordinating thousands of people.

The moment to reflect on what we can achieve with this team! 
Now it's time to get all these employees back in the same way at the end of their shift. Efficient for the client, where we know exactly how many hours they have worked for everyone!
And of course also to continue to enjoy the happy partygoers around me!
