In the Netherlands, approximately 1.2 million people with a work-related disability are eager to work. Unfortunately, very few of them are given the chance. The outside world tends to look at their limitations rather than their abilities. At ABN AMRO, we believe that every talent should have opportunity to thrive. That's why we create targeted opportunities for people with a work-related disability.
Our B-Able program assists people who are distanced from the labor market. We look for jobs that are suitable for people with a work-related disability. Once they have joined us, we guide them through the B-Able Desk. We work closely with all parts of the bank and receive advice from a number of leading social enterprises like Onbeperkt aan de Slag and Ctalents.

With the right facilities, agreements, and guidance, people with a work-related disability make a valuable contribution to ABN AMRO. At the moment, the number of employees with a work-related disability at ABN AMRO is 150. Our goal is to have 225 employees with a work-related disability by 2025. All with regular jobs and regular salaries. This way, we hope to promote financial independence and job happiness.
It is valuable for society when people with a work-related disability can engage in long-term regular employment. They then no longer depend on benefits and welfare. Their presence is also of great value to organizations. We see an increase in employee satisfaction, customer satisfaction, and productivity in places where people with a work-related disability work.

I’m on the committee of the B-Able staff network, a bank-based network for staff members with a disability. The B-Able programme enables the bank to help people with poor job prospects. Thanks to this programme, more people with disabilities are finding jobs at ABN AMRO. That’s obviously fantastic.
