A human, collegial and safe working environment
Looking beyond our attractive wages, we want to pay the necessary attention to our employees themselves. Our focus here is on training, mentoring, support and leisure. We also assume responsibility for our staff's well-being and safety, in the able hands of our health & safety prevention and protection department.
A human and collegial working environment
Looking beyond our attractive wages, we want to pay the necessary attention to our employees themselves. Our focus here is on training, mentoring, support and leisure, all aimed at putting our values – open-mindedness, respect and trust – into practice as far as possible.
In 2019, we chalked up 6 923 days of training, equivalent to 4.6 days a year per employee.
We want to further evolve into an organisation that assesses its employees more on their results and not so much on their presence. Extended possibilities to work from home, more flexible parental leave and our flexitime arrangements are just some of the aspects underlining this goal. We also want to give our staff the opportunity, alongside their day-to-day work, to work on projects in line with their interests.
We also pay attention to the physical well-being of our staff: for example, we offer Pilates and yoga classes during the lunch break, encourage our staff to take at least 10 000 steps a day as part of the Global Challenge, organise all sorts of sports activities via our Club and are currently planning a fitness room in our headquarters building.
We regularly organise lunch-break sessions on health-related topics, such as time management and mindfulness. The Financial Forum and our Delta team also organise lectures on current topics.
A safe working environment
Our working environment should not only be human and collegial, but also safe. We therefore also pay great attention to our staff's health and safety, relying on our Service for Internal Prevention and Safety at the Workplace, including our prevention advisers. Some of these are focused on our physical safety, others on our health and psycho-social well-being.
Our Prevention and Safety Service is launching campaigns to raise our awareness for such problems as burn-out, alcohol abuse and accidents at work. In addition, it organises evacuation exercises and trains employees to become evacuation stewards.
Our staff are always able to contact our company doctor and nurses, while our physiotherapist ensures that everyone has an ergonomic workplace.
