Concepts

Meaningful work
We strive to ensure that every employee experiences their work as meaningful. This means work that makes them feel appreciated, that they enjoy doing and that is meaningful to others. It also means work in which their talents are optimally utilised, because this ensures growth; both for our employees themselves and for our organisation. We also pay attention to the social, vital and financial welfare of our employees. Meaningful work is part of a group-wide programme for sustainable employability and is measured annually, with its own methodology up to and including 2021, and gradually with GPTW from 2022.
