Our long-term objective
Alliander employs about 6,800 FTEs. Together, they secure a reliable, affordable and accessible energy supply. We offer our employees a safe and healthy working environment that they can be proud of. We aim to be top-class employer: an innovative and successful company where we develop future-oriented knowledge and competences. And with an absence rate of under 4.3%.
Contribution from Alliander
We are aware that the energy transition and technological innovations such as robotisation and digitisation are advancing at an accelerating pace. As a result, roles change or disappear, while new ones emerge. This poses many challenges for our people. In 2019, our absence rate was 4.2%. For us, this confirms the need to maintain a constructive and frank conversation with our employees about long-term employability. Alongside this conversation, we offer other instruments such as the employability budget to help employees stay healthy and energetic for the long term. We did not conduct an employee survey in 2019. Instead, the focus was on the strategy alignment survey and discussing the outcomes of this with all employees. Alliander has the ambition to be a top-class employer and will launch a new employee survey in 2020.
