A career at DSM

• When you come to work at DSM you take charge of your own career — with a great support network behind you.
• Our personnel policy is based on the idea that we never stop learning. Employees can expect a commitment from us to have the opportunity to learn, develop, improve and get more out of their work.
• At DSM there are no predefined career paths. Our employees take stock of their own progress within the company and, together with DSM, define their career in line with their ambitions for the future.

At DSM you don't apply for a job — you pursue a career

DSM's wide diversity of disciplines makes it possible to offer employees a great variety of roles throughout their career. For instance, you may start in an area related to your degree, but your future is what you make of it. At DSM we stimulate people to determine their own career path. So it's very common for people who begin in a technological job to cross over into a commercial function at some time, or for commercial people to explore a range of commercial disciplines. DSM encourages international careers.

Fringe Benefits
Over the years DSM has developed an extensive package of fringe benefits. Although these differ from one country to the next, we can say with confidence that DSM distinguishes itself in the degree of attention that we pay to this issue. For instance, in the Netherlands, DSM offers option plans, flexible working hours, savings plans, support in arranging child day care, possibilities for working at home and a broad range of training courses. Furthermore, certain collective labor agreements offer 'employee benefits á la carte', in which employees have the opportunity to choose from a 'menu' of working arrangements and compensatory agreements. In other words, as long as they meet some ultimate conditions, staff can create their own, customized benefits package.
