Supporting people through inclusion and empowerment
Inside our workplace
Across our global businesses, we aim to foster a professional culture that welcomes different perspectives and supports people in their growth. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are an important part of this where they provide spaces where colleagues can connect, share experiences, and help shape a more inclusive work environment.
We currently have a network of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), which provide our employees with a space to address topics of interest and promote employee engagement on issues of company culture and direction across our different geographies. They are employee-driven and company-sponsored. The ERGs focus on what matters the most to employees and enable colleagues with specific backgrounds or interests to help Aegon create an environment where all can thrive
A more informed and inclusive approach
We use data and feedback to better understand how employees experience Aegon, and how we can improve. Our participation in external benchmarks, such as Workplace Pride, helps us compare our policies and identify areas for development. Input from ERGs like Aegon Proud also helps shape the steps we take to support inclusion.
Our Talent Marketplace is one example of how we’re aiming to make development more inclusive. It helps open up mentoring and on-the-job learning opportunities, so that people across the business can grow their skills and careers.
Beyond our walls
Our focus on people extends beyond the workplace. We look at how inclusion and empowerment can play a role in our customer experience and community investments. By using benchmarks and gathering feedback, we aim to improve how we serve different needs and contribute to efforts that support financial and social empowerment in our communities.
There’s more to do, but we’re committed to taking thoughtful, practical steps to create an environment where people feel included and empowered to thrive.
