ViskoTeepak's people strategy.

Early 2022, we launched our people strategy to clarify our company culture and the behaviors we want to live by and encourage in our organization. It also tells us how we believe we enable success in our teams. The strategy will provide us with direction, create focus, set our priorities, and define more detailed targets and plans. By clearly describing ViskoTeepak’s work culture and key behaviors, we strongly believe we will improve the general well-being as well as the results.

People strategy

The people strategy is directly connected to our company wide employee training program, Hearts & Minds. One of the last workshops in Hearts & Minds was to discuss how we are doing compared to the strategy and to co-create a team codex for the plant or office. All employees were invited to this workshop and all discussions and reflections were documented and summarized. By involving all employees in this, we want empower everyone to define what is important for them in their everyday worklife. Now we have defined it and have something to live by and also help new people that start working at ViskoTeepak to understand how we do things.

Next to the people strategy and team codex we also have a global code of conduct where we define that it's important to adhere to all fair-labor codes and practices.

New career page

The new career page highlights the importance of attracting and retaining skilled and committed employees in a competitive job market. The company's people strategy prioritizes offering good and safe working conditions and opportunities for individual development. To achieve these goals, the company has developed and implemented various procedures and guidelines across the organization.

Communication

Communication is an essential aspect of the company's efforts to engage with its employees. The local Plant Management Teams coordinate communication on the plant level, including regular updates on the status of the business and local initiatives and projects. TV screens and regular meetings with employees are also used to keep everyone informed. In bigger plants, there are regular meetings with employee representation groups like the Works Council and Union representatives. Senior Management Teams have an annual program of Leaderforums and communication meetings with the line organization.

Intranet

The company's Intranet platform, iConnect, is an interactive tool that enables employees to connect with colleagues and content across the globe. It is used to share corporate news, celebrate successes, present new employees, and provide location-specific news.

#WeAreViskoTeepak

The "we are ViskoTeepak" campaign is designed to showcase the success of the company's employees and highlight the opportunities for growth and development within the organization. By sharing employee experiences on social media channels, the company hopes to retain loyal and hardworking employees and attract new talent to the organization.
