Your first year: rotations in HR and People Analytics

To become a strong HRBP after two years in the programme, you will start in our People Services team where you will contribute to build a differentiating employee experience through accessibility and speed of delivery of people processes.

After six months, you move to our People Analytics team where you will help ING use sophisticated analytical techniques to turn HR and people data into useful insights to improve ING's performance. More than just data, analytics is also about identifying patterns that will improve our understanding of human behaviour. It opens up new possibilities for how we serve our customers and is set to transform the way we inspire, engage and build the capabilities of our people.

Your second year: rotations in Performance and Rewards & Talent and Learning

In your second year, you will work in our Centre of Expertise (CoE) Performance & Rewards team. The goal here will be to empower the business with solutions and expertise that drive business results.
