Employee Value Proposition & Strategy
In collaboration with Communication, HR has produced a new “Employee Value Proposition” assessment for 2023, based on the Top Employer survey, the Engagement Survey and the Randstad Study. Given the tightness of the job market, we must think about what makes Ethias unique as an employer.
Belgian roots, always close by: as one of Belgium's largest companies, Ethias offers a tailor-made salary package, job security and a friendly working atmosphere. You can work at our headquarters in the heart of Liège and Hasselt, or at one of our regional offices across the country.
Choose to grow, work on your talents: Ethias helps its employees to build and invest in a lasting career through a range of learning opportunities.
Give it your all, at work and at home: Ethias helps every employee find the right balance between work and private life. The employee joins a team where everyone belongs, is truly listened to and can give their best.
Make a difference for people and society: in addition to working daily on solutions to help its policyholders and improve customer satisfaction, Ethias is more broadly committed to making society more sustainable and responsible. Each employee can have a direct, positive impact on their daily lives.
In line with its strategy, Ethias also applies a “phygital” approach with candidates. Ethias has a strong presence at events (Workrfestival, Love Tomorrow, Student Take Off, Talent Fair @Finance Avenue, Talentum, school job fairs, etc.), but also tries to reach candidates online via search enfgines, job boards, social networks...
In 2024, Ethias will launch a strategic communication campaign in order to show what it really means to work for Ethias.
