Tradition and team spirit on the longest day of the year.
On Thursday, June 19th, it was time once again for the annual Polem Walking Day. A tradition that started years ago with a small group of colleagues who decided to walk to work on the longest day of the year. It has now become a firmly established part of the company culture.
As usual, the participants gathered early in the morning in Sloten. At 5:15 AM sharp, the walk to Lemmer began. Along the way, everyone enjoyed the beautiful Frisian landscape and each other’s company.
Halfway through the walk, a well-prepared breakfast was waiting — kindly arranged by two colleagues who volunteered to take care of everything. A perfect moment for a short break and connection.
The atmosphere throughout the walk was excellent. At Polem, teamwork isn’t just about what happens at work — it’s also about moments like this. The team spirit could be felt with every step.
Preparations for the next edition can already begin.
