The Development of Employees
We wish to provide a safe working environment for our employees that encourages continual learning,
co-operation and creativity. We motivate employees with awards and by making them aware that each
individual is an important part of the team. We have established a long-term system of training for all
employees that we named Akademija Sava. We are aware that the readiness of our employees for lifelong
learning, personal development, entrepreneurial spirit and adapting to changes are decisive for making
progress and preserving a competitive edge in all of our operations.
23.1 Concern for employees
Creating a working environment in which employees
are able to realise their potential and ambitions in
accordance with Sava corporate values are one of our
priority goals.
The average number and
structure of employees
In 2005 the average number of employees in the Sava
Group increased from 3,014 in 2004 to 3,062 in 2005.
There were no greater changes in the Group’s
composition, therefore the employee structure in
individual divisions remains similar to the year before.
Tourism has the largest share of employees with 44 per
cent, and is followed by Rubber Manufacturing with 30
and Trade with 19 per cent.
368 associates were newly employed in the companies
of the Sava Group, of whom 301 were employed for a
fixed period of time and 52 got a permanent position.
Due to the seasonal nature of work most employees
(166) were newly employed in Tourism. Tourism is
followed by Rubber Manufacturing where the
companies Savatech d.o.o. and Sava GTI d.o.o.
employed 126 new associates on account of an increase
in production capacity and sales.
Last year 324 associates left the companies of the Sava
Group, which did not significantly exceed the figure
from the previous year. The fluctuation is greatest in
Tourism with 54.6 per cent, mainly due to terminating
contracts concluded for a fixed period of time.
27.5 per cent of the a.m. fluctuation is due to an agreed
termination of contract, 12.6 per cent to retirement, 23.5
per cent termination according to the law, and 36.4 per
cent due to resigning for business reasons.
In 2005 the total fluctuation in the Sava Group
amounted to 10.5 per cent, or only 0.2 per cent more
than in the year before. The seasonal character of
tourism business demands high employment flexibility,
and with regard to the number of employees that
Tourism has in the Sava Group, the percentage of the
total fluctuation is relatively low and reveals the high
level of employee loyalty and satisfaction.
