Recruitment from local communities
As a company with operations in various
geographical regions in Greece and abroad,
METKA S.A. focuses on sourcing employees
from the respective local communities, in order
to support local employment.
The large majority of the personnel employed in
construction sites or other business units in Greece
(e.g. the plants in the Volos region), are hired from
the local communities. A strategic objective of the
METKA Group is to contribute to the prosperity
of the regions where its operations are located,
by providing jobs for residents of nearby areas
and by contributing to the development of these
regions and to maintain good relations with the
local authorities.
Furthermore, in addition to the Company’s direct
employees, METKA S.A. also provides jobs for the
personnel of local subcontractors. In 2011, the
percentage of the Company’s senior management
executives recruited from the local communities
stood at 20%. “Senior management” is defined by
the Company to include all persons in holding the
position of Supervisor or higher positions.
Employee turnover and retention
The policy of METKA S.A. is to attract and retain
talented professionals by creating and maintaining
an optimal, secure and stable work environment,
coupled with competitive remunerations &
benefits and with the provision of opportunities
for training and development. In what concerns
recruitment, employment contracts or personnel
departures, the Company adheres faithfully
to the provisions of the applicable laws and in
many cases it introduces terms which are more
favourable for employees than the statutory ones.
During 2011 METKA S.A. hired 175 new
employees, thus continuing, despite the economic
crisis, to create new jobs and to strengthen
employment in the local communities where its
operations are located. The recruitment of new
employees was driven by the needs in personnel,
mainly in connection with new projects which the
Company secured abroad. The Company’s key
priority is to retain and put to the best possible use
the capabilities of its existing personnel, through
internal job rotation or promotions, provided that
* Changes in employment data for the various regions are due to fluctuating needs by geographical region,
depending on the progress of local projects.
** Differences in the geographical distribution of personnel in the regions of Kavala and Thessaloniki are due
to the fact that EKME S.A., whose facilities are located in these regions, was not included in the Sustainability
Report 2011.
