Nurturing potential

Growth, opportunity, and global collaboration

As people are our most valuable resource, we go to great lengths to develop their skills and competences. Through our strong people commitment, we create a work environment that helps build ambitious careers, makes room to explore and discover, while facilitating a safe and healthy work environment for everyone.

We seek to ensure that people have well-rounded opportunities to learn and grow. Our employees are constantly developing professionally, for their own benefit and for our business.

Among many other development initiatives, we run an annual performance and development review (PDR) process. This process focuses as much on professional development as it does on performance. We view the annual PDR as a good way to ensure that the engagement, performance, and career goals for each employee are aligned with our business goals.

Employees discuss the direction of their career, challenges, tasks and projects completed over the past year. Based on that, the leader and the employee develop a career development roadmap for the coming year. This roadmap is based on coming assignments in the department, customer needs and our business strategy. Leaders offer coaching, guidance, ongoing feedback, training, support and development opportunities, while also setting the direction about the future of the work.

Joining a team of people working across more than 60 countries, you will be part of an agile network of talented and ambitious people. In fact, we count on you to engage, connect and collaborate with colleagues all over the world.

Being truly international is part of our legacy, as we have had a global presence for decades. Our international work environment offers a multitude of opportunities for meeting your career ambitions.

Being a global company, we provide career opportunities for those who want to work abroad for longer or shorter periods.

We have grown internationally and through mergers and acquisitions, resulting in a diverse workforce with many cultural differences. This influences our business in a positive way.

Accordingly, we offer market-aligned remuneration and ethical, safe employment conditions. We recognize the right of our employees to organize and bargain collectively, we support human rights and refuse to engage in child or forced labour.
