Working from home or do you prefer the office? Or maybe even that cozy café around the corner? You know better than anyone where and when you work best, so you decide where your efforts will be most effective. Together with your colleagues, you coordinate when to meet at the office, ensuring that there’s enough connection both online and offline.

Essent provides you with all the necessary tools to do your work well, whether at home or in the office. Think of a laptop, smartphone, and ergonomic furniture. Additionally, we offer a fixed home office allowance.

Essenters about hybrid working

Part of the secondary employment benefits we offer is the flexible benefits budget. You can spend this budget entirely according to your own wishes and needs. Want to buy extra vacation days to take a long trip or discover a new hobby? Purchase energy products from one of our service partners with this budget, or would you prefer to receive it all as salary? The choice is entirely yours. You can even change it every month to suit your situation perfectly.

Continuous learning and development are essential. Standing still means falling behind. That’s why Essent offers you many opportunities to develop further both within and outside your field of expertise, and as an individual. We have learning and development platforms that we start using from the moment you join. Each year, you’ll set development and growth goals with your manager. Together, we look at your ambitions and desires. Additionally, we offer an annual Personal Development Budget that you can use for training, courses, coaches, and more. Plenty of options that align with your needs. Want to know more? Read the stories of Essent employees who have made significant progress and, more importantly, how they achieved it.

Working at the number one energy company naturally means that we offer discounts on gas and electricity. Essent employees who are customers of Essent, energiedirect, or Vandebron receive a 20% discount on their energy bill each year, up to a maximum of €500.

And that’s not all. You also get a 20% discount on all products offered by our service partners in the field of sustainability when you work with us. That’s some great savings on solar panels, insulation, and a heat pump. Our service partners operate throughout the Netherlands, so there’s always one near you.

Essent values the health and safety of its employees and their long-term employability. Enjoying your work, staying healthy, and maintaining good health are primarily your own responsibility. Essent supports employees with inspiring workshops and courses on nutrition, exercise, and relaxation. You can benefit from discounts on sports activities, book an office chair massage, receive movement/posture advice, enjoy fresh fruit in every department, and go on lunch walks with colleagues.

At Essent, you help our customers live more sustainably. That’s why we think it’s important that you set a good example as well. If you choose a sustainable mode of transport, such as public transportation, a bicycle, or an electric car, we reward that extra: you’ll be reimbursed for those kilometers, receive an NS Business Card, and/or participate in our bike plan. Additionally, you have the option to use our shared cars for business trips.

Because job satisfaction combined with a good work-life balance is very important, it is possible to work abroad. How nice would it be to spend the winter in Spain or the summer in Sweden? Whatever combination suits you, it's possible here. Apart from any business meetings abroad, Essent employees can work from another country in Europe for up to 20 days within a 12-month period!
