Working at LIOF?
Freedom, clout and necessary support
As an employee at LIOF, you are given every opportunity to improve your employability. We do this by responding cleverly and inventively to themes that are important to you and LIOF, such as development, independence, autonomy and the opportunity to make your mark on the economy in Limburg. In this way, LIOF employees are involved in their environment, you have social impact and you add lasting value to your surroundings.
Fun and socially engaged
LIOF is more than just work
Together with your colleagues you can be sporty by taking part in regional running events, a cycling tour, improve your cooking skills during a cooking workshop, enjoy a burgundian getaway to a nice city, stand on skis with your colleagues or do social work. For example, by participating in an event with regional impact on people and society that LIOF sponsors.
In 2022 we started donating to charity on behalf of speakers instead of giving flowers or a bottle of wine as a thank-you for the speaker. We selected three charities in different areas. These touch the circular and health transition and have a direct impact on a better living environment in Limburg.
1. Environment: Maas Cleanup
2. Health: Children's Research Fund Limburg
3. Social/Inclusiveness: Little Fair Limburg.
