Our offer
You make a valuable contribution to our purpose: helping people become happier and more successful in their professional lives. And because making impact starts with a supportive work environment, you can count on employment conditions that offer room to grow, a healthy work-life balance and stability.
Let’s go on a journey together!
At Nedap, you never stop learning. From day one, you’re part of the Nedap Journey—your personal development journey within Nedap.
During your first year, you get a solid introduction to the organization through our onboarding program and the Nedap Survival Skills training. This helps you find your way, take ownership and start making impact.
You take the lead
Growth is a shared responsibility. You take the lead in your development, and we support you along the way. Our People Development team encourages and facilitates you to spend at least 40 hours per year on your personal development.
This can take many forms: training courses and education, conferences, trade fairs or webinars. You also have access to a broad network of coaches, and a dedicated contact person to spar with about your development and possible next steps within Nedap. We proactively think along with you.
Culture
The strength of Nedap is rooted in our people, our culture and our view on leadership. We believe in an open culture where you are encouraged to speak up and share your insights. In discussions, the quality of arguments matters more than hierarchy or position.
We trust people to make the right decisions and to show personal leadership. We don’t tell you what to do or how to work—we expect you to take the lead. That also means you decide how your talent can best come to life.
You know what you want to achieve, and together we create an environment where you can grow, learn and inspire others.
Basic terms of employment
These are important terms agreed between you and Nedap. In agreeing on these terms, we adhere to the law and the collective labour agreement.
Pension accrual continued
• Nedap pays a large part of your pension contribution. As an employee, you pay 3% of your salary toward your pension. Nedap also contributes 7% toward your pension.
• Nedap pays all the risk premiums for your disability insurance above thesalary limit under the Dutch Work and Income (Capacity for Work) Act (Wet werk en inkomen naar arbeidsvermogen, WIA), for continuation of your pension accrual in the event that you become unable to work, and for the partner’s and orphan’s pension, meaning that you will not have to pay a personal contribution.
• Your pension contributions are invested in a way that is right for you. You choose the investment risk yourself. And you decide what your pension money is invested in. Will you go for a passive, active, or long-term investment strategy?
• We regularly organise sessions to explain the various options. You can find more information about this on our intranet, Spark.
• We will keep you informed on any changes to the pension system and how they affect your pension.
Fringe benefits
At Nedap, we set great store by our employees’ well-being and growth. With our fringe benefits, we offer you extras that contribute to that.
NPP and NAPP explained
Nedap Participation Plan
The first scheme is a profit-sharing scheme under which we distribute 6.5% of the pre-tax profit posted by Nedap in Groenlo. This scheme applies to employees of Nedap N.V.
Everyone receives the same gross amount. You can choose to receive it in cash or invest all or part of it in Nedap shares (1). If you choose to invest in shares, you get a 10% discount. After four years, you get one free share for every four shares you hold. Plus, having shares entitles you to the dividend we pay every year. Do bear in mind that, under current tax legislation, shares are locked for the first four years after purchase. During this four-year period, you cannot sell them.
Nedap Additional Participation Plan
The second scheme is the Nedap Additional Participation Plan. This scheme applies to all Nedap employees worldwide. When Nedap does well, you benefit too. This means: If the operating profit exceeds a certain threshold, we distribute 40% of that additional profit among employees in the form of Nedap shares (1). In this way, employees and shareholders at Nedap have been working together for years to further grow our company.
The current NAPP scheme is under review and remains in effect through 2026. This means that a revised scheme may take effect starting in 2027.
1 - By Nedap shares we mean 'depositary receipts for shares'.
NPP and NAPP
* Except for interns and final-year students.
NPP: 6.5% of Nedap N.V.’s annual profit before taxation is distributed equally among all Nedap N.V. employees, i.e. employees all receive the same gross amount.
NAPP: If the operating profit exceeds a predefined threshold, 40% of these extra profits are distributed among all employees in the form of depositary receipts for shares.
NPP: The NPP applies only to Nedap N.V. All employees* on the payroll at Nedap N.V. are entitled to a profit share under this scheme.
NAPP: For all employees* on the payroll at Nedap: Nedap N.V. or a Nedap subsidiary.

NAPP: Employees accrue profit-sharing entitlements over a period of three years. These profit-sharing entitlements are allocated annually. How many entitlements are allocated is determined based on an employee’s gross monthly salary divided by 1,000 (‘X’/1,000). Profit-sharing entitlements remain valid for a period of three years. The current balance is stated at the bottom of your payslip every month.
NPP: This is up to you to decide. The net amount can be:
Paid out entirely in cash;

NAPP: This part of the profit will be distributed in the form of depositary receipts for Nedap shares without a discount on the share price.
NPP: The Nedap depositary receipts you buy will be locked for four years.
They will be unlocked after four years. At that point, you can decide whether to keep them or sell them (within an open period). And for every four depositary receipts you hold, you will receive a fifth bonus depositary receipt, provided that you still work at Nedap. Any previously allocated depositary receipts will remain in your possession. Depositary receipts will immediately entitle you to a dividend.
NAPP: The Nedap depositary receipts you buy will be locked for four years. They will be unlocked after four years.
At that point, you can decide whether to keep them or sell them (within an open period). If you leave the company, your profit-sharing entitlements will cease.

Sustainability
With our technology, we want to make people happier and more successful in their professional lives. Guided by a long-term perspective, we aim to create real value in the markets in which we operate: this means we focus on generating both financial value and value for people and the environment.
We’re also increasingly focusing on making our own operations more sustainable. Since 2014, our campus in Groenlo has been fully powered by renewable energy. With every major renovation, the building has been further insulated, and we are working towards becoming completely gas-free by 2030. We are installing more solar panels, making our vehicle fleet more sustainable, and discouraging business air travel for short distances.
We also promote the long-term employability of our people—both within and beyond Nedap—and conduct lifecycle analyses of our products to help reduce their future environmental impact.
