Where we stand today
Our human resources policy is summed up in four words: Healthy, Motivated, Skilled and Happy. This puts the focus on our employees’ development and health.
Employees are asked to rate the organisation and to say whether they would recommend the company as a good place to work – also known as the Net Promoter Score (NPS). In 2022, employees’ rating of Growers United was up slightly on 2021, from 6.4 to 6.9 out of 10. The NPS score was up considerably in comparism to 2021, rising from -7 to 4.
We also track sickness absence and record te number of workplace accidents. The overall sickness absence is 5%. The rate in the operations unit is 6.9%. Sickness absense is 2.6% in the cooperative and 1.8% in the privated limited company, which are both below the 2025 target. 55% of all sickness absence can be explained by long-term absence.
How we will make it happen
We offer our employees personalised workplace training and development pathways. There is a training calendar and we encourage on-the-job learning. Employees working in the packaging hall are trained to operate the machines and on safety in and around theri workspace. Additionally, there is scope for employees to develop on a personal level, so that people enjoy coming to work every day.
Our personnel policy is focused on the development and health of our employees. We encourage our employees to continue their development. For example, there are tailor-made workplace training and development processes. And, of course, we offer healthy products in our company restaurant.
