Inclusion & diversity at work

Breadcrumb

  1. Careers

Our customers are a diverse group, therefore to truly understand their needs we also need a diverse workforce. We also know that diversity in the workplace brings new ways of thinking, innovation and fun!

Inclusion and diversity

Aegon protects its employees against discrimination and promotes non-discrimination in the workplace, whether on grounds of race, disability, religious belief, sexual orientation, age or gender.

Our company-wide Statement on Inclusion and Diversity aims to create a productive and open working environment in which all employees are valued for their contribution and are able to realize their potential.

We encourage diversity through mentoring programs, discussion groups and measures to help those with family commitments, such as flexible or part-time working, access to childcare and family leave.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transexual (LGBT)

We also promote the acceptance of diversity within the communities we operate. For example, since 2016 we've sponsored Edinburgh Pride, the home of our UK head office in Scotland, and we've had an Aegon hub for employees at Amsterdam Pride. In 2017 our employees proudly manned a float at the St. Petersburgh, Florida pride, and we took center stage at Cedar Rapids Pride, the home of our US business, Transamerica.

One of our most active diversity communities is Aegon Proud, Aegon's global LGBT community. This is open to LGBT employees and colleagues who wish to show their support for the benefits  diversity can bring to a company. The community has members from around the world, and regularly organizes local events to raise awareness about the importance of diversity in business.

Corporate Equality Index
Transamerica, our US business, has also earned a score of 100% from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation on their 2022 Corporate Equality Index (CEI). Transamerica has received a perfect score on the annual benchmarking survey and report —which measures workplace equality for LGBTQ+ employees— since 2017.

Female workforce

Aegon is a signatory to the Talent to the Top initiative in the Netherlands, which aims to increase the number of women in senior management. In the United States, the company is a member of the Corridor Women Connect group, which helps develop leadership skills among female managers. We are a member of Women in Financial Services, which seeks a better balance between men and women in the financial sector. Women made up 48% our workforce in 2022. Among senior management, the proportion of women is 36%. 

Disability

When it comes to disability, local regulations make establishing a concrete number of disabled employees at Aegon difficult, however Aegon's local initiatives paint a very positive picture.

Globally, we don't measure how many disabled employees we have, because that would be discrimination in itself. We take the best person for the job. This includes people with physical disabilities, but also numerous employees with less obvious disabilities, such as visual impairment.

Specialist recruitment agency
Aegon has worked with Dutch recruitment company Onbegrensd Talent (Unlimited Talent) since 2012. The recruitment agency has around 3,000 disabled job seekers on its books.
