Deltares Shares Knowledge Through Visuals

Deltares is a research institute specializing in water and the subsurface; our expertise is essential to ensuring that people can continue to live in delta regions. Think of sea-level rise, land subsidence, and water quality. Our work yields compelling stories—stories about our employees, what they do in the field, and the collaboration on projects that lead to solutions. Video is the perfect medium for bringing these stories to life and giving them a human face.

The Benefits of Vormats

1. Not every colleague has a good camera or editing skills. But they do have stories to tell. Every colleague has a cell phone in their pocket. Vormats helps our colleagues think through their story, record it, and edit it. That makes it easier and more fun to share your story.

“Videos on Deltares’ social media channels have a wide reach. They often receive more than 5,000 views and thus actually attract job applicants as well as new followers.”

2. Stories “stick” and have an impact beyond just brand awareness. Human Resources sees this as a great way to showcase what working at Deltares has to offer. The beauty of Vormats is that, because colleagues can use the tool themselves, more videos can be created. We hear from applicants that they appreciated being able to “take a look” first.
