Empowering our people

Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging

We value a working culture that excludes nobody. Diversity, equity and inclusion are pillars of social justice and promote belonging. DEIB is essential to our company and the key to unlocking the maximum potential of our individuals and teams. In everything we do, we try to break down barriers and build connections. We have a focus on diversity when it comes to our people, new hires, management, and leadership. We recruit, employ, and promote our colleagues based on their qualities and abilities, and do not discriminate in any manner.

Internal education also plays a big role in our DEIB programme with internal courses and regular workshops on topics such as, how to be a hiring manager, overcoming bias and intercultural competence. The global nature of our organisation and colleagues means we especially value these competences.

Training & Education

Crucial to the personal and professional development of our people is maintaining a continuous learning culture. The Planon Academy has been set up for this reason. We stimulate our people to show self-leadership, impact their personal growth and fulfil their career potential by using the range of support and tools.

Our managers play a very important role in driving the talent and career development of our people. To support them in their role, we offer a specific management learning programme.

Besides our internal learning programme, we believe it's essential to work closely together with educational institutions and provide opportunities for beginners. At least 7% of our workforce is in an earn-and-learn position, such as internships and traineeships.
