Buurtzorg De Beerzen in team flow

In this Dutch-written team portrait, we share the practical stories of Buurtzorg's team De Beerzen from Middelbeers. How do they try to work together as smoothly as possible and why do they go to work whistling?

Buurtzorg Nederland finds it important that its employees go to work with a smile and that these employees can ‘be there’ for their clients in a way that meets the needs of the client. Buurtzorg Nederland does this excellently. For example, clients rate the delivered care with an average of 9.2 and also on employee satisfaction Buurtzorg scores extremely high since its establishment. Buurtzorg is a home care organization that provides care at home with small teams consisting of (district) nurses and district nursing staff. This involves nursing and personal care.

Flow Concepts regularly visits Neighborhood Care teams to unravel why cooperation runs so smoothly and why this team enjoys its work so much. The stories shared during these visits by the team members present are then compiled into a team portrait. After all, these stories are useful, important and deserve to be shared. This as mutual inspiration for other teams within healthcare, as appreciation for the good work that nurses and caretakers do every day, or to show what a beautiful and meaningful profession healthcare has to offer. The sector is facing a huge shortage of employees.

Reason enough to share these stories. Through this publication, we are happy to share the team practice of the Buurtzorgteam De Beerzen.

The Conceptualization of Team Flow

In August 2018, Jef van den Hout, Orin Davis and Mathieu Weggeman published the article “The Conceptualization of Team Flow” in the scientific journal “The Journal of Psychology: Interdisciplinary and Applied.” This involved an extensive literature review which led to a generic model with propositions for research on the relationships between individual flow and team flow.

How to use the Graffiti Flow Jam to bring your team’s collective ambition to life!

This is the unique opportunity to share the team’s collective ambition in an inspiring way. The artwork on the wall thus keeps the collective ambition alive and probably ensures it will be achieved! And then it’s time for a new work of art!
