Colosseum Dental Group

As we embark on a new year, we are delighted to launch our annual Great Place to Work (GPTW) survey! This initiative is a testament to our ongoing commitment to fostering a workplace that empowers and values every member of our pan-European organisation. In the face of the unique challenges presented in 2023, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to each member of our teams. Their resilience and dedication to providing exceptional patient care have been extraordinary. Our country teams' collective effort has propelled us forward, making CDG a standout in the dental care industry. Through the GPTW survey, we hope to gather valuable insights from our colleagues, guiding us toward becoming the ‘First Choice' in every market we operate in. We sincerely thank our colleagues for being crucial to our journey and hope to share more about our GPTW journey with you in 2024! #CDG #YourFirstChoice #GPTW

🌟 Incredible Milestone Achieved! 🌟 We're thrilled to announce that last weekend, our ambassadors from across Europe successfully tackled the iconic Alpe d'Huez in France! 🚴♀️🚴♂️ This achievement is part of our Bike4Good initiative, launched in January 2024. This program aims to inspire our 13,000 colleagues to cycle (and run) 1 million km by mid-September. Upon reaching this goal, Colosseum Dental will donate significantly to charity. Participants from all our 11 countries united for this challenge. 60 ambassadors were selected to face the 13.9 km ride up Alpe d’Huez, with an ascent of 1118 meters. After six months of intensive training with Golazo Energy coaches (Bart De Clercq, Lennert Van de Voorde, Dietmar Ledegen), all ambassadors conquered this renowned Tour de France climb. Additionally, 6 ambassadors completed the La Marmotte Grand Fondo. Their shared passion, determination, and unwavering team spirit powered them to the summit. 🌍❤️   A huge thank you to all the ambassadors for their grit and team spirit. This event highlighted our commitment to health and wellness and strengthened our vibrant community. Over the weekend, we surpassed 600,000 km in our cycling challenge! This achievement will inspire our ambassadors to rally more colleagues as we strive to reach our 1,000,000 km goal. Together, we can achieve great heights! This event was possible thanks to: - The stellar team at Golazo Energy (Robin Decottignies, Matthias Van de Loock, Jana De Weer, Jolien Lewyllien, Hans and Léopold de Vaucleroy) from Golazo Group - The dedicated teams from Pinarello (with support from Guido Schwendemann) and Q36.5 (Ivan Santaromita, Alberto Bianchi) Henry Schein Dental (Nicola Loynes, Paolo Enrici, Fred Kriek, Mark McEwen) for their crucial role as roadside soigneurs at feeding stations along the Alpe - The talented photo and film crew: Dirk Theuns, Gregory Van Gansen, Pieter Neirynck   We deeply appreciate all the support we've received and are incredibly impressed by our ambassadors' extraordinary efforts. Let's keep the momentum going to achieve our 1,000,000 km goal! Here’s to many more challenges and successes ahead! 🏔️💪 #Bike4Good #TeamSpirit #GlobalAmbassadors #AlpeDHuezChallenge #CompanyEvent #HealthAndWellness #TeamSuccess #Resilience #CyclingCommunity #ColosseumDentalGroup Special thanks to our exclusive sponsors: Henry Schein Dental, Straumann, Bien-Air Dental, Kulzer, Ormco Europe, and Planmeca.

First-ever Regional Managers' Leadership Training Program at Colosseum Dental Group Over three days at Schloss Marbach, the Regional Directors of all our 11 markets embarked together on a journey of growth, learning, and collaboration in the first-ever Leadership Training Program delivered by Colosseum Dental Group. Our Regional Managers were trained on effective leadership in today's changing environment. The sessions were enriched with practical insights and strategies aimed at helping our leaders thrive in their daily activities. Through engaging discussions, team activities, and shared experiences, our Regional Managers forged stronger bonds and gained a deeper understanding of each other's perspectives. This first-ever Group program reflects CDG's commitment to investing in our people and supporting continuous learning and education. We already look forward to hosting our "Future leadership program" in June 2024 in Zurich. #CDG #YourFirstChoice #RegionalManagers #LeadershipTrainingProgram #LeadershipDevelopment #TeamBuilding #ProfessionalGrowth

Last weekend, we had the kick-off Event of our "Bike4Good" campaign - a group-wide, unique well-being program for our employees that makes a meaningful contribution to society by supporting charity. 60 ambassadors gathered in Hasselt, Belgium, for extensive fitness tests, health checks, engaging workshops and presentations of our Group CEO Patrick De Maeseneire and Group CFO Daniel Fehr. The ambassadors also met their coach, who will create the optimal training programme for them in preparation for an exciting the Alpe d’Huez Challenge this summer. 🚴♂️ 🏔 In the meantime, all Colosseum Dental Group employees are tracking their sport kilometres for a good cause. If they break the 1 million barrier before end of August, Colosseum Dental Group will donate a significant donation amount to 3 charities. With Bike4Good we not only focus on the wellbeing of our colleagues, but also on the importance making a positive impact. 💪 Big thanks to Energy Lab for providing our ambassadors with a memorable weekend!

Recently, at Colosseum Dental Group, we have launched the "Bike4Good" campaign - a group-wide, unique well-being program for our employees that makes a meaningful contribution to society by supporting charity.   With Bike4Good, we aim to unite and develop a sense of pride and belonging for our colleagues at CDG, nurture their well-being and empower them to make a meaningful contribution to society.   Every kilometre biked and ran contributes to charity. This way, exercise is healthy for oneself and supports good causes.   We challenge our 13,000 colleagues to ride 1 million kilometres in 2024 together. If we break this barrier together, Colosseum Dental Group will offer 200K euros to support three good causes substantially.    We hope to share more about CDG's Bike4Good soon in 2024! #CDG #Bike4Good #YourFirstChoice

Colosseum Dental Group's first Chairman's Award 🏆🦷 | In 1995, Klaus Jacobs, former Chairman of Jacobs Holding, initiated the Chairman's Award for Jacobs Holding's portfolio companies. The award recognises long-time employees with outstanding work performance and solid social commitment to their local communities by dedicating their time and resources to voluntary community service or charitable causes. In 2023, we have the opportunity at Colosseum Dental Group to join this inspiring tradition! All award-winners from CDG were invited to Switzerland with their partners for a joint three-day event on August 22 – 24, 2023. This is an excellent opportunity to celebrate our silent heroes and ambassadors of our company's values: Care, Collaboration and Entrepreneurship. As well as recognise those colleagues who go the extra mile while supporting their local community as Good Neighbour. We invite you to watch this video to learn more about our awarded winners of 2023 and what they have done to contribute to their local communities!  #CDG#YourFirstChoice
