Dreams don't work unless you do
At Zoku we love good coffee, jelly beans, Toby, Leroy and Alfred (our fish), karaoke, birthdays (especially the cake!), working hard but playing harder, glitter, jam sessions, plants (lots of plants!), beautiful sunsets, craft beers, (weird) jokes and hugs instead of handshakes. There are 5 company values that truly define Zoku’s culture. The following values are at the heart of Zoku, and everything we do is based on them:
- Take care. We believe friends, coworkers and residents are the same thing.
- Be the bus driver. Don’t wait for an opportunity, create it.
- Above and beyond. Dreams don’t work unless you do.
- Sunny side up. Always look at the bright side.
- Always beta. Great things never come from comfort zones.
Zoku means family
A Zoku: [Zo-qoo] ~ noun: a person working at Zoku, who loves his/her job with a passion, wants to make a difference in this world, doesn’t take him/herself too serious and loves people plus making them happy.
Zoku is an entirely new hotel concept run by a team of passionate, happy gang of kindred spirits. We’re entrepreneurial focused people who aim to provide the best possible service in the broadest sense.
There are no separate teams at Zoku. We don’t believe in the usual layered structure of “executive” this and “supervisor-assistant-VP-of-everything” that. We believe there is one team, with one mission: to create the most desired home base for traveling professionals.
It’s a cliché, but it’s true: we aim for that family feeling working together, creating the best Zoku experience for our residents, members, visitors and each other. We love Zoku outings, singing karaoke, going Apenkooien or vrijmibo’en. (we’ll explain those last two when you’re here.)
LOVE ZOKU. LEARN ZOKU. WORK ZOKU. LIVE ZOKU.
Zoku connects people and ideas.
If you want to work at Zoku, you need to love to connect with people. And ideas.
Zoku is a place for growth, driven by purpose, not just by profit.
We support each other like a family and we go at it together rather than alone.
Because none of us is as smart as all of us.
Zoku isn’t a position or a title, it is action and example.
Here, we teach you the things they forgot to teach us at school.
Skills that will benefit you for the rest of your life.
Amazing things happen when people get together and our success is also determined by how we handle the setbacks and knock downs.
And more importantly how quickly you can get up and on with it again.
We take on the challenge to push the world forward and create smarter solutions.
We set the bar high and we don’t wait for opportunities, we create them.
We don’t settle for average at Zoku, we believe in only giving it our best.
Sometimes we win, sometimes we learn.
And most of all, we recognize that dreams don’t work unless we do.
