This guest blog from Elly Ploumen, Group HR Director at Achmea is based on an interview published in the magazine Visie – this time with a focus on HR – from Dutch insurance organisation VNAB.  In the blog, Elly explains how Achmea let go of the organisation’s familiar assessment and reward structure and how talent, performance and development became central to how the organisation now retains talent and increases people’s ability to learn and enjoy their work. We would like to thank Elly and VNAB for their permission to share this blog with ICMIF members here.
