Common use of Education and project agreements during the term of the CLA Clause in Contracts

Education and project agreements during the term of the CLA. The CLA parties agreed to pick up, elaborate or examine a number of subjects during the term of this CLA. These are: a. Skills-oriented thinking Attracting and developing talent is one of the three HR priorities for Aegon in the Netherlands. Aegon wants to be an attractive employer to its employees by offering them the opportunities to develop and to move throughout the organization. In that way, Aegon is able to unlock capacity and skills that are available in the organization through employees. At the same time, it offers the possibility to increase employee involvement and retention through more and visible career and development opportunities. Aegon starts this CLA period with the transition from function-oriented to skills-oriented thinking. This means that the focus will be more on the development of skills and competencies and that Aegon will gradually be offering more targeted possibilities for General this. We are starting with a pilot after which we want to further roll out skills-oriented thinking within Aegon. b. Increasing People Management skills Working at Aegon Good people management skills from managers are crucial to realize Aegon’s strategy and to have Training and development employees perform and develop in a vital, passionate and optimal way. From this perspective, people management skills are a key factor when hiring for and promoting to management positions with Aegon, as established in the previous CLA. Income Time and place In the upcoming CLA period we will determine and implement a concrete approach to further enhance people management skills. It is essential that the approach is aligned with the needs of the people manager and that it supports the business in realizing its strategy. We are choosing an iterative approach with the manager index from the Global Employee Survey (GES) as an indicator for the business units in the Netherlands that fall under this CLA. This information will enable us to monitor the impact of our interventions and optimize them during our CLA period. We are happy when Aegon in the Netherlands reveals a positive development of +10% compared to the 2021 GES. Leave
