Competence development

We want to support and to commit our employees to perform as effectively as possible in their work. We take care of our employees’ expertise and development by organizing company-level and Group-level training and developing operations.

We monitor our employees’ skills and development needs through annual performance appraisal discussions. Through these discussions, we ensure that our employees have sufficient competence for their jobs, as well as clear goals and responsibilities.

Since 2021, we have been using a new online learning environment that enables uniform training provision throughout the Group. Online training is available on sustainability, occupational safety and data protection, for example. In addition to online training, we offer our employees various trainings, depending on their position and tasks.

We monitor how much time each employee spends training. In 2022, the Group’s employees spent an average of 9 hours on training, which was slightly more than in the previous year.

In 2023, we will continue to develop the monitoring of training by improving our training record practices to ensure appropriate monitoring. We are also focusing on using digitalisation in personal competence development and job improvement. In addition, we are continuing our work to share good practices between the Group companies, because we want to improve our operations together and learn from one anohter.
