Our most important policies
Employees
Motivated, committed, knowledgeable employees are
prerequisites for utilising the potential of the market
and achieving success. It is therefore important to have
active, clear leadership that brings about a climate where
everyone feels satisfied and involved in their work. This
is achieved by all employees:
understanding their role and their duties, receiving
the necessary information and having the requisite
authority to discharge their duties.
having at least one appraisal discussion each year.
devoting an average of at least two days each year to
developing their skills and expertise.
together with their immediate superior producing an
activity plan based on the results of the annual NMI
employee survey – (Satisfied Employee Index).
being offered the opportunity for promotion through
the fact that the company largely recruits in-house.
Working environment policy (GRI LA6)
DB Schenker’s workplaces in Sweden should be characterised
by a safe and stimulating working environment
that promotes good attendance and motivated employees.
This applies both to the company’s own employees as
well as hired personnel. The company management has
ultimate responsibility for the working environment at
the company. However, everyone at the workplace has
personal responsibility for their own health and working
environment and co-operating to ensure there is a good
working environment and a good corporate climate. This
is achieved:
through a systematic working environment programme
where we continuously map, rectify and evaluate the
working environment.
by setting objectives each year for our working environment
programme and including working environment
measures in the budget process.
through continuous development of the skills and
know-how of management and employees in working
environment issues.
Quality and diversity policy (GRI HR4+LA10)
At DB Schenker Sweden we consider diversity to be
a strength and we appreciate differences.
Our company should be a workplace that everyone can
be proud of.
We should be an attractive alternative when women
and men from different backgrounds and with different
experience choose a workplace and an employer.
Our workplaces should be free of harassment and
discrimination.
An organisation marked by equality and diversity leads
to greater satisfaction and professional treatment and
creates security for employees, partners, jobseekers, customers
and suppliers. We are convinced that the operations
we conduct are better and more profitable when we
make active use of all the experience and expertise of the
company’s employees. We will continue to work actively
to promote equal rights and opportunities for women and
men with regard to work, terms and conditions of employment
and opportunities for professional development.
Equality and diversity (GRI PR2)
Our operations should be constantly developed.
This means that:
we view all activities as a totality.
we satisfy the demands that have been made.
our resources are used where they generate the
greatest benefit for our customers as well as
maximum profitability.
our development is governed by external expectations
and future demands.
we should increase the level of quality to the customer
and provide maximum customer benefit. The work is
focused on achieving concrete improvements in
operating quality.
