Employee feedback
The Employee Engagement Survey (EES) is a bi-annual survey designed to measure corporate culture, team efficiency, employee engagement and leadership. The group-wide survey is scheduled again for 2014, including employees within production and non-production for the first time.
In 2013 the EES was conducted on a smaller scale, and included a pilot to gauge feedback from four factories, some benchmarking teams and follow-ups with constituents with low scores in 2012. With a response rate of 87%, the 2013 results indicate good engagement from the surveyed population and overall significant improvements in reducing the number of low scoring teams.
Employees and employee benefits
The CoC and the Workplace Standard stipulate that all employees are expected to be remunerated at levels no less than local minimum wage. Additionally, each operational unit is responsible for providing its employees with all legally mandated benefits to which they are entitled. These include medical and social insurance and pensions.
Electrolux applies both long-term and short-term incentive programs to fulltime employees. Benefits to Group and senior management are described in the Board of Directors report in the Annual report. Incentives for the top 200 managers are linked to performance of non-financial targets in select few instances, depending on roles. This includes, for example, service call rates, quality and safety.
