By AObapp notify much faster
Between the Netflix app and that of the supermarket, the telephones of primary school teachers Sophie Piccardt Brouwer (51) and Suzanne Jellema (31) have recently featured the AObapp. “It is nice that you are informed much faster and can easily ask a question.”

From the end of September, the AObApp live and all members can put the app on their phone in no time and receive news tailored to them, register quickly for great events and ask a quick question about, for example, the collective labor agreement. Piccardt Brouwer and Jellema immediately downloaded the app and advise colleagues who are members of the union to do the same if the worst comes to the worst.
Faster
“What I really like is the news items that you now read much faster,” says Jellema, holding the phone in her hand. She scrolls in the app. “And I also think the agenda in which you can immediately see everything and are logged in quickly. The app ensures that the step is much smaller to take a look in between. I myself open the app two or three times a week, because I think that as a teacher you should be aware of the news in your sector.”

Piccardt Brouwer agrees, who especially likes the 'register in the agenda within two clicks' function. Just like you can personalize the app. “I ticked primary education and participation. This app is really in my list of Netflix, Lidl and Facebook apps that I open more often.” According to the teacher, it ensures that everything within the AOb happens more comes to life.

Threshold lower
Once the app is installed, members can submit their question to the with one click AOb-Staff members. These can be big questions about dismissal, but also about a smaller topic, such as the break times at their school. Jellema: “The fact that the membership number has already been entered makes a huge difference. If something is going on, you can ask right away. The app makes that threshold feel lower.”
Although the app is live, the AOb continue to develop the app to ensure new features are added monthly and to make improvements. The two teachers still have a wish list. “I find a job for polls or polls are a good addition,” says Jellema. This way you can quickly see what colleagues think about something, which is also useful for the union. Or a FAQ of the week. In February, for example, my team will be discussing the work allocation plan again. Then it is useful to see that in the app as well.”
