Employer of Choice

Engaged, able and qualified employees who feel fulfilled and energised, and who embrace our business strategy and culture, help make our business successful. That's why ABN AMRO needs to be an employer of choice with the ability to attract, enthuse and retain the most talented staff.

This requires excellence in a number of aspects: an open and welcoming environment offering equal opportunities; a safe, healthy and stimulating workplace; transparent structure and goals; advancing the employability of our staff; and fair and competitive compensation.

Diversity and inclusion are a key driver in achieving business goals and high performance We are committed to having a diverse and inclusive workforce. We aim to respect every individual and draw on their strengths and creativity.
It's also important that staff feel they are a part of the company, supported by management in their development. Employee engagement is measured on a periodic basis and helps us to identify where we can do better.

Learning also contributes to an increase in performance and motivation. We have a global employee learning strategy that aims to develop staff at all levels in our organisation.

We also offer sustainability training and awareness programmes. In 2006, we developed a global sustainability programme to increase employee awareness of our sustainability strategy and encourage staff to incorporate sustainable development into their daily work. As part of this, we launched our sustainability e-learning tutorial, 'Chronos', developed by the University of Cambridge and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).

Restructuring
As ABN AMRO is a dynamic and growing business, there is a constant inflow and outflow of people caused by people joining or leaving joiners, leavers, as well as acquisitions, divestures and restructuring programmes. We strive to communicate openly and transparently with our employees, especially when planning organisational changes. We work closely with employee representative bodies during times of change.

Human Rights
ABN AMRO recognises the importance of human rights and believes that businesses can make an important contribution in this respect. We seek to integrate respect for human rights into relevant policies and training.
