9.1 Bolstering employment
The employment policy of MYTILINEOS Group is character-
ised by its stability and consistent reference to the Group’s
core business values and to specific Greek and international
standards. 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.
The Group’s subsidiaries are fully aligned with these priori-
ties and, in addition, they:
• Create significant conditions for growth in local employ-
ment, by encouraging recruitment from the local labour
market as a priority.
• Have in place reliable personnel selection procedures,
which adapt to the particularities and needs of the indi-
vidual activity sectors and are aimed at assessing the
qualifications / skills of candidates in relation to corporate
requirements and needs as well as their personality traits.
2015 Highlights
• At the end of 2015, the Group’s total workforce numbered
2,199 employees, coming in their majority from the local
population of the regions where the Group operates.
• The Group maintained its long-standing practice of includ-
ing people from the local communities in the manage-
ment teams of its subsidiaries. This allows the Group to
better understand local needs and respond to them.
• The absenteeism rate was limited to 0.17% of the total
scheduled workdays, down 29% from 2014.
• No working days were lost due to a strike or stoppage on
a corporate level.
• 35 working days were lost due to accidents in the entire
Group.
• For yet another year, the Group maintained its low per-
centage of fixed-term and part-time employment con-
tracts, demonstrating that, as always, it firmly intends to
build long-term relationships with its people.
