ANNUAL REPORT - HSE

HR policy
Our human resources policy can be briefly summarised
as follows: “We have come to terms with
change and adapted to it, which is why we are always
ready to start fresh and share our knowledge and experience
as this enables us to strengthen our advantages
even further.”
One of the sources of our advantage is also the creation
and provision of conditions and environment
which help our employees achieve their personal
ambitions, and we also encourage taking reasonable
risks, which is a precondition for further development
and build up of strength in uncertain situations as well
as for achieving the strategic goals of the HSE Group.
Systematic human resources management and an
orientation towards training and motivation ensure
the satisfaction of employees, their confidence and
commitment, and their loyalty to the Group, which in
turn ensures our future development and success.
We need individuals who are willing to fully commit
to achieving noticeable and measurable operating
results and who are dedicated to implementing business
visions and strategies. We are aware that strategies
alone do not lead to success. Success is achieved
by people and the values guiding them.
The key elements of our human resources management
strategy remain as follows:
• to support business and strategic goals of the Group,
• to employ highly qualified staff and improve the educational
structure,
• to maintain an optimal number of employees,
• to invest in the development of knowledge and competences
of employees, focusing on the development
of own knowledge and training of team leaders,
• to set up a flexible remuneration and promotion system,
• to invest in high-quality and healthy working environment
and to continue a programme for the protection
and strengthening of health in the working
and living environments.
3.1.1 Employees in the
controlling company
The leading position of the HSE Group in the Slovene
energy system, which also means being the main
promoter of secure and reliable electricity supply in
Slovenia, makes us a very attractive employer: job
applications are received both from applicants with
established careers as well as those at the beginning
of their careers. The recruitment policy is based on a
combination of:
• recruitment from within the HSE Group or the internal
labour market, which offers highly qualified
experts of various profiles and with a wide range of
general and specific competences; for staff being
transferred to the parent company, such recruitment
represents promotion, career prospects and a
reward for successful performance;
• the external labour market, by means of which an
inflow of fresh ideas, energy, different views and experience
is ensured.
As regards executives and experts, the policy of training
own staff prevailed.
All of the above is also reflected in recruitment. In
the period from January to December 2008, the number
of employees increased by three compared with
31/12/2007. The company thus had 112 employees as
at 31/12/2008.
The actual number of employees is by 7% or 8 employees
short of the number envisaged in the 2008 business
plan, in particular due to the following reasons:
• three employees left the company;
• a call for applications was published in the last
quarter of 2008 but the selection process was not
completed before the beginning of 2009;
• employment of a scholarship recipient in January
2009;
• due to changed conditions, some of the calls for applications
to fill positions in administration support,
internal audit, marketing and sales, and production,
and to hire an intern were not carried out.
The recruitment dynamics was spread evenly between
both halves of the year, with three workers being employed
in each half.
