The independent research agency Corporate Research Foundation (CRF) has awarded us the title of ‘Best Employer’ several times and we regularly achieve a high position in similar kinds of ‘Top 10 Employer’ lists.

Each year, CRF assesses and ranks a large number of companies on the following five points: salaries and benefits, training and development, internal promotion prospects, atmosphere and facilities at work, and the company culture. In the most recent survey in 2009, ING was named joint winner as ‘Best Employer’, sharing this top position with 3 other companies who all achieved exactly the same score.

ING’s results:

Salaries and benefits: 5 stars

Training and development: 5 stars

Internal promotion prospects: 5 stars

Atmosphere and facilities at work: 4.5 stars

Company culture: 5 stars

ING achieved the eighth position in the top 100 ranking of ‘Best Employers to Work for in Finance’ published in May 2009.

ING was named as one of the best three employers in the Dutch IT sector by Corporate Research Foundation in September 2008.

Students voted ING the best company to work for in the financial sector in the survey known as the ‘Intermediair Ebbinge Imago Onderzoek’ published in October 2008.

The only Dutch brand name in the entire list, ING made it into the BrandZ Top 100 ranking of the world’s most powerful brands compiled by the market research company Millward Brown Optimo.

Business Week recently recognised ING as one of the world’s most innovative companies.
