Reasonable Accommodations. At the EIB, we encourage all candidates and colleagues who feel comfortable in doing so to declare their disability, on a voluntary basis, in the knowledge that this information will be treated confidentially. Reasonable accommodations are made at interview and selection stages for all candidate who identify as a person with a disability at any time during their recruitment process.Our approach to reasonable accommodations is tailored to your individual needs to successfully support and deliver on all aspects of your professional role and seek to respond not only to medical needs but to the social context of disability.

Flexible Work Arrangements. The EIB facilitates a wide range of flexible work arrangements, IT adaptations, supporting measures for business travels and assignments and much more. Our approach to disability inclusion aims to empower all staff with the best available tools, helping you to fully realise your professional potential at the Bank.

Dependence Care Services. Under the EIB’s health insurance scheme, the EIB provides for so-called “dependence care services”. The underlying principle is to provide personalised case management, ensuring that staff members with individual needs can be catered for, in a comprehensive and holistic manner.

A Wide Range of Stakeholders at Your Service. At the EIB, we are strongly committed to continuously improve the accessibility of our physical and digital infrastructure and the inclusiveness of our culture. To this end, a range of services and stakeholders are at your service: The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Office, the Occupational Health Service, Confidential Counsellors, and other internal and inter-institutional networks.

enAble. enAble is EIB’s staff-led support network for colleagues living with a disability, caring for a person with a disability or a chronic illness, and for all motivated and interested staff. enAble is a channel of awareness raising and advocacy for disability rights and plays a key role in advancing disability and neurodiversity inclusion within our institution.

In-house Support Communities. The EIB has recently launched support communities on a number of inclusion-related topics. Support Communities are intended to be a safe space in which colleagues, motivated managers, and all interested staff can share lived experience and learn from others around key inclusion topics, including disability and neurodiversity.

Managers Peer Support Network on Disability Inclusion. The Managers Peer Support Network was established in 2020 to facilitate the sharing of best practices and to enhance the benefits experienced from inclusion of disabled talent in EIB teams. The group plays a key role in co-creating best practices and advancing the inclusion of disabled and neurodivergent talent across the Bank. Our ‘inclusion@eib.org’ mailbox is a point of contact for anyone who would like further information or may require any reasonable accommodations during the selection process or after joining us!
