A key strength is our commitment to employees. We pledge:
- to inspire outstanding performance from teams and individuals and to recognize and appropriately reward achievement
- to encourage employees to fulfill their potential for the benefit of both themselves and the organization
- to foster teamwork and individual achievement within a culture of empowerment and accountability
- to share knowledge and best practices across our companies to stimulate the creation of new business opportunities
- to provide equal opportunity without regard to race, religion, age, gender, disability, or ethnic origin
- to provide a safe working environment
The personal development process forms a part of this and includes career planning as part of the discussion that all employees are expected to have with their managers. Training is provided at all levels of the organisation in order to ensure that people are helped and accelerated into new roles with the proper preparation to ensure that they succeed in their career.
These discussions feed into the Organisation Planning Process, which matches individuals’ capabilities and aspirations with the company’s talent requirements.
GKN promotes the development of all careers.
