2016
8.2 Labour practices
8.2.1 Bolstering Employment
The employment policy of MYTILINEOS Group is characterised by
its stability and consistent reference to the Group’s core business
values and to specific Greek and international standards.
Employee satisfaction, the high personnel retention rate, the
contribution made to the effort to reduce unemployment and
to the development of local communities, the respect of labour
rights, as well as the maintenance of the Group’s “social license”
to operate are the most important results of this policy, both
in the sectors of the Group’s business activity and in the wider
social environment in which these sectors operate.
Recognising that employees are the fundamental pillar for the
achievement of its business goals, the Group is focusing, in
addition to Health and Safety at the workplace, on strengthening
and maintaining a work environment that provides opportunities
for individual and team development, as well as on maintaining
the high level of professionalism of its personnel as its top
priorities.
