Work-life balance

• Healthy Working provides colleagues with direct access to company doctors, psychologists, nutritional advice and coaching.
• We organise sessions on lifestyle, parenting and personal development.
• Initiatives such as shorter meetings and meeting-free days during school holidays provide moments of rest.
• Our collective labour agreement includes arrangements such as the 34-hour work week, informal care, parental leave, 16 weeks of paid maternity leave, sabbatical leave, unlimited bereavement leave and flexible working hours with no minimum working hours. Another important employment condition in our collective labour agreement is a climate budget, which is intended for enhancing the sustainability of employees’ homes or their mobility. 

We help employees to remain sustainably employable. By means of training, one-on-one meetings and coaching, we encourage them to take charge of their career and health and we agree on mutual expectations based on our employability principles. We use our leadership programmes to train and support managers in coaching employees and teams in the areas of learning, development and sustainable employability.

Targeted international approach

Our subsidiaries outside of the Netherlands are similarly committed to employee well-being. For example, Eureko Sigorta in Turkey provides mental health programmes and home working options, while Union in Slovakia provides employees with opportunities for health days and sabbaticals. Interamerican in Greece supports employees by means of childcare benefits, extra leave and family-friendly initiatives.
