6.2 EMPLOYMENT
O
ur p
eople are our key driving force
and our strong strategic advantage.
The high level of professionalism of our ex-
ecutives, the work experience of our tech-
nical and labour personnel in our spe-
cialised activity areas and the distinct
corporate culture spirit that characterises
all our personnel, add up to an invaluable
asset that we must cultivate, maintain and
transmit to the next generations of our em-
ployees.
We recognise, appreciate and reward the
efforts of our people, who respond in the
best possible way to help meet our busi-
ness targets in the persistently adverse eco-
nomic conditions of the last years.
On 31.12.2013, our Group's human re-
sources numbered 2,001 people in total,
including indirect personnel, i.e. freelance
professionals and personnel of contractors
with whom we work, slightly increased
(2%) from 2012.
Our Group’s direct personnel numbered
1,600 full-time people, broken down in Ex-
ecutives, Administrative employees and
Technical & Labour personnel. Almost
60% of our total personnel are employed
in the Metallurgy & Mining sector, with
28% employed in the Construction & EPC
Projects sector and 9% employed in the En-
ergy sector. At 13%, the share of women
in the total employment figure for 2013
remained at the levels of the previous three
to four years.
With our activities extending to the Greek
periphery, we are making efforts to con-
tribute to the growth of local employment,
by giving priority to recruiting technical and
labour personnel as well as senior execu-
tives from the corresponding local com-
munities.
In cases where the requirements of our sub-
sidiaries involve specialisations which are
not available in the local communities and
therefore cannot be sourced locally, re-
cruitment from outside these communities
is initiated, with an overall focus on at-
tracting, developing and retaining the
best employees in order to ensure the con-
tinued achievement of our business goals
and strategies.
In all the geographical regions where we
operate, the large majority of our human
resources come from the local popula-
tion.
