We believe that sharing information with our workforce can strengthen their commitment to VWFS and our strategy. Every staff member plays an important role in achieving our business goals, and it’s key that they understand the impact they make both individually and collectively. Our managers operate an open manner which makes it easy for employees to provide feedback and ask questions freely.

We encourage our employees to take time to relax and re-charge. Our Employee Assistance Programme (EPA) provides a confidential telephone service and face-to-face counselling sessions for employees whenever they need to talk about something more personal, or is feeling low, anxious or stressed. Employees can also avail of lunchtime yoga classes, step challenge competitions, Annual Health Screening and onsite Flu Vaccines.

Over the last two years, we have implemented various digital processes. This digitalisation has created new jobs, made processes more efficient and demonstrated to employees that VWFS is always progressed and becoming more innovative. We support employees who want to develop themselves and progress their role within the company by studying for additional educational, technical and professional qualifications.

VWFSI offers competitive renumeration, income protection, bonus schemes, an initial 24 days annual leave, private medical insurance and access to products through the Employee Car Scheme (ECO). We also offer one of the best pension schemes available in the Financial Services sector. Additionally, we have an Employee Engagement Committee to act as a barometer of the morale of our employees, a Sports & Social Committee to bring some fun to the workplace and a Charity Committee to support charities close to our employees’ hearts’.

At VWFS we want our employees to know we recognise where credit is due and that their efforts are valued. Special recognition is issued to people who have gone above and beyond on personal tasks, and/or project deliverables. It's also the small gestures that make a big difference, which is why we like to enjoy some treats when occasion calls for it!

Volkswagen Financial Services Ireland is fully committed to ensuring employees have the relevant knowledge, skills and expertise to perform daily duties to a standard and to acheive their full career potential.

We actively promote a healthy work life balance. Over the last year, we scheduled coffee mornings and fun competitions for employees to get involved in while working from home. We offer personalised hours, part time hours, blended working etc. and one Annual Volunteer Day was also granted to all employees.
 

Balancing the demands of family, friends and other personal commitments in addition to managing our work lives is a constant struggle for us all, which is why VWFS are doing our best to help make life easier for everyone.
