Sustainability report 2019

53 Employee engagement and development Engaged and skilled people are crucial for AAK’s continued growth, which is why we endeavour to attract, develop and retain the best talents in the business. Performance management By implementing a continuous dialogue model for performance management, we are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels empow- ered to take accountability for their own performance and development. This includes regular dialogues between employees and their managers that focus on feedback and career development. In 2020, we will continue to develop our employees’ capability of engaging in productive performance dialogues. Inclusion and diversity AAK is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining an inclusive and diverse workforce. We believe that inclusion and diversity drive innovation and create a trusting environment within AAK and with our customers – all helping to contribute towards the success and sustainability of our business. Engagement survey In 2020, we will conduct a Great Place to Work survey. The survey will focus on our working environment, leadership, workload, sustainability, and other key areas in order to identify risks and improvement areas. The results will be shared broadly across AAK, and teams will be asked to create action plans to ensure contin- uous improvement for a sustainable workplace with high engagement. 53 Contributes to:
