Sustainable employer

Having a talented, qualified and vital workforce is key for a.s.r. in achieving its business objectives. a.s.r. is committed to attracting, retaining and inspiring the most suitable employees, by offering ample training and development opportunities and facilitating a sound work/life balance.

a.s.r. aspires to be a sustainable employer by:

recruiting, developing and retaining the best employees;
creating an environment of objective and transparent management, allowing responsibility to be given and taken;
ensuring a focus on trust, enabling commitment and performance to go hand in hand;
investing in mental resilience and sustainable employability.

Sustainable employability

Sustainable employability involves enabling employees to participate in the labour market as best as possible, as long as possible and as vital as possible. Human Resources contributes to this by creating opportunities on the labour market, both within and outside a.s.r.

All a.s.r. employees can rely on assistance in the filed of sustainable employability and benefit from guidance from carreer coaches and an extensive range of workshops and courses. An important prerequisite for guidance is for employees to be willing to take control of their own future.

Diversity, equity and inclusivity

At a.s.r., we believe that differences make us stronger and better and we stand for equal opportunities for all. We strive for an inclusive culture, where differences are recognised, valued and made use of. It is important that employees are competent, but also that they differ from each other and that space is created to express these differences. Different perspectives, backgrounds, knowledge and experiences contribute to the realisation of a.s.r.’s objectives and are positively used and deployed in innovative, sustainable solutions for our customers.

We do not want to exclude anyone and we want to treat everyone equally. Everyone who wants to use his or her talents to achieve our objectives is given the space to do so. We do this by being aware of visible and invisible differences between people. For example, gender (expression), sexual orientation or preference, age, religious beliefs, culture, origin, skin colour and physical and mental ability. We also pay attention to differences in working styles, beliefs and perspectives.
