Employee trust, collaboration and engagement
At EY, we believe that our responsibility as an employer is to ensure the well-being of each and every person, regardless of their role and their profile, keeping in line with our corporate purpose of building a better working world, which lies at the heart of our NextWave strategy.
To this end, we have therefore implemented a range of measures to create a compassionate work environment, very rich in intellectual and human capital. This is the foundation of our competitiveness and the quality of service we provide to our clients and partners.
By making each individual the focus of our environment, we aim to create a feeling of belonging and the certainty that working at EY is a unique experience. Indeed, our employees want to commit and give the best of themselves, and therefore be fully engaged with EY.
Our actions are divided into three main areas:
- Establishing and keeping a stable feeling of trust among EY employees
- The well-being of our employees at work
- Creating an inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of their specific circumstances
Even the way in which working areas are designed and organized contributes to our performance, through ergonomic workstations and the creation of a motivating working environment for employees. EY has upgraded its PC fleet and redesigned its premises, floor by floor, in order to create more opportunity for collaboration and interactivity among colleagues.
Establishing and maintaining a relationship of trust between employees means that EY employees are expected to listen to one another with respect.
- Employee exchange schemes: the Counselling Family Trees are mentorship structures that bring together employees ranging from junior to partner level every quarter for an informal discussion, in order to facilitate the flow of information, knowledge and mutual understanding.
- Team spirit: to foster a compassionate atmosphere at work, we strive to improve our values of integrity, respect and team spirit by training our managers and our teams in collegial decision making and how to build lasting relationships of trust. We are also expanding discussions between sponsors and those sponsored thanks to LEAD, our career development tool.
- Employee engagement: each year, EY carries out a worldwide anonymous survey of all its employees and partners: the Global People Survey (GPS). It allows us to gauge our employees’ level of engagement, their degree of satisfaction with quality, people management, ethics, and well-being at work as well as their understanding of the business strategy.
We registered a proportion of turnover equal to 28% registered in FY23, compared to 34% in FY22 and 26,90% registered in FY21) which is in line with that registered in the market for our business. EY Luxembourg’s Talent Team is constantly committed to retaining our Talent.
Focus on the well-being of our employees at work
EY's professions are unlikely to lead to workplace accidents; the biggest risk they present is the generation of stress, coming from the nature of the business and the expectations of our clients. The well-being of our employees at work is essential to ensure sustainable performance. EY has therefore built its work environment in accordance with this principle, based on the four pillars of health, work environment, work/life balance and team spirit.
