We empower each other to thrive, fueling our growth, happiness and business success.
To maintain our fast pace of innovation and our leadership position for the long term, we need to attract and retain the best talent and create a working environment where people can develop their talents, feel respected and safe, be healthy and thrive.
We work hard to attract the world’s top talent and invest in helping them reach their full potential. The more we can help our people to grow within ASML, the more our company can grow.
Inspiring a unified culture
Our unique and diverse teams provide the skills and capabilities we need to deliver our vision. As an equal opportunity employer, we aim to cultivate a diverse and inclusive workforce to drive innovation and accelerate creativity.
We believe that promoting greater diversity in our workforce will help us to attract and retain smart, talented people, enabling us to drive technological innovations that meet our customers’ needs. This means diversity in all its dimensions, including but not limited to gender, neurodiversity, nationality, sexual orientation, people with disabilities and under-represented minorities.
We want to enable our people to develop their talent, feel respected and achieve to the best of their abilities. By offering an outstanding employee experience, we are able to attract and retain the best talent to support the increased productivity and growth of the company.
The employee experience is the sum of all the interactions a person has with ASML at each stage of the employee life cycle, from attracting and onboarding to exit. Our approach includes talent attraction and retention, development, the onboarding experience and training, as well as labor practices such as fair remuneration, working conditions and well-being.

Building a strong talent pool
To maintain our fast pace of innovation and ensure our long-term success as a company, we need to attract and retain the best talent. Because we know that every employee is at a different stage in their employee journey and has unique needs, we provide tailor-made training and development programs to help grow the highly skilled professionals we employ. We also offer varied career paths and have tools in place to support our employees' career navigation.
Enhancing employee engagement
Employee engagement and employability are the cornerstones of a sustainable relationship with our employees. Engagement is the dedication our employees have for their jobs and ASML, and employability is our employees’ capacity to adjust, sustain and improve their performance over time.
To achieve this high level of employee engagement and employability, we work to facilitate an inspiring and safe work environment, which helps our employees strike a good work-life balance and grow from a personal and professional perspective. Our 2023 engagement survey showed that employee engagement is high, with an engagement score of 80.3%, compared to the external global benchmark of 75.2%.
