ASML

Work-life balance

Despite our fast-paced environment at the forefront of tech, we take your work-life balance and well-being seriously. From employee appreciation celebrations to community and volunteering activities, there’s always an upcoming event on our calendar. From volunteering with your local community to playing a favorite sport, you can get involved while building social and professional relationships with our diverse employee network program.

Volunteering

ASML knows that innovation doesn’t end with us. That’s why we also encourage our employees to get involved in local STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education events that foster creativity for future generations. All employees receive eight hours of paid volunteer time each year to participate in local volunteering events.

Employee Networks

Besides being a great way to socialize with colleagues, getting involved with a group can help build your professional network while doing something you are passionate about. Around the world we have various networks and clubs tailored to local interests. These groups each have a collective theme, but are open to all – whether you identify personally with the theme or are simply interested to learn more or to support the group’s efforts.

You’ll be able to join many of our groups from wherever you are in the world. Below you’ll find an overview of some of our popular groups.

If you are sustainability conscious

The Green network at ASML focuses on reducing and reversing the environmental impact of both our company and individual employees. Through regular events and newsletters, our employees are promoting sustainability leadership and responsibility.

As part of Green ASML, you can join a project or start your own initiative. Existing activities include global clean-up days and monthly talks from professionals. Other green initiatives include a switch to compostable coffee machine cups, and a flight CO2 compensation program. With support from Green ASML, you can even identify and measure how your personal performance can contribute to ASML’s sustainability targets.

If you’d like to be part of our neurodiversity network

People with a form of neurodiversity (for example, those on the autism spectrum) are highly valued at ASML, as we know the importance of analytical thinking, good logic, creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. Our neurodiversity network brings together the many people at ASML who are neurodiverse and provides a space to be understood and connect with others.

This network hosts events like café sessions, as well as talks that anyone in ASML can join to hear about the experiences of someone who is neurodiverse. And, as part of these groups, you can also become an ambassador – spreading the word about neurodiversity and being a champion for inclusivity at ASML.

Sports and hobbies

Beside our formalized groups, we have a wide range of sport and hobby clubs that you can join. Soccer, basketball, sailing, motorbiking, running, music, board games, and cricket are just a few of our clubs, not to mention our famous robotic soccer team.

And if you don’t discover a group based on your interests, you can always create your own. With thousands of colleagues in your local area and around the world, linking up with people who have the same interests as you is a great way to connect with colleagues outside of your department while having fun doing something you love.

Collaboration and innovation are in our DNA. This requires us to connect individuals, teams, departments and sectors across ASML. Working alongside each other physically enhances creativity and social cohesion – which is vital to keep us in tune with each other.

But during the pandemic, just like you, we’ve discovered new ways of working that we want to apply as we return to ‘normal’. While we know working from the office is still the best way for us to collaborate on innovative solutions, we also want to maintain flexibility. We offer a policy that allows you to combine working from the office with remote working.
