Maintaining good relationships with our employees is an important part of ensuring our company’s continued success. This is why we want to create a workplace that really values our employees. Our employee relations policy ensures that we put this aim into practical action, and that we do it in a consistent way across all our sites, supported by appropriate training.
We believe in open and continuous dialogue with employees, both informally and through trade unions and our European Works Council, and we cultivate productive partnerships based on trust and mutual respect. We regularly canvas employees’ views, both at site level and through formal group-wide surveys every two years, so that we can identify areas where we can improve. We complete unit level assessments to monitor the implementation of employee relations policies, involving a cross section of workers and management in this process.
