Education
In past years our education structure has changed considerably,
as the Company primarily hires employees
with a high and medium-level professional education.
This is due to the fact that in recent years the Company
invested substantially in the modernisation of production
processes which, among other things, also require
higher employee qualifications.
The changing and spiralling demands of markets on
one side and the prolonged active life of employees
on the other call for the continuous upgrading of
knowledge and skills throughout their entire working
life. For this reason the permanent education and
training of all employees is a necessity. Our employees
may choose from various forms of education: off-thejob
training for acquiring a higher level of formal professional
education, courses, seminars and workshops
for acquiring new professional skills, foreign language
courses, introductory computer courses, and on-thejob
training for the purpose of introducing new working
procedures, products and devices.
The Company is focusing more and more on training
employees for the performance of several different
operations or tasks. This will increase the flexibility of
employees, accelerate their adaptation to the changing
demands of the work process, and have a positive
effect on the preservation of their health. Changing
work operations reduces the harmful effects of
repeated loads. Employees who are trained for several
different jobs also have a better understanding of the
entire Group’s operation and their own role in the
Company. This strengthens their endeavours for higher
quality of work and their allegiance to the Company.
