Internalising the importance of responsibility work and participating in it are important to all personnel. Corporate responsibility is also an increasingly important criterion to people choosing an employer and making their career plans. This almost always comes up during job interviews and it raises the responsibility demand level in respect of both employers and verification measures. Competition for talent in a changing job market is forcing companies to declare their business principles and to improve their operating methods also from the perspective of responsibility. Although the level of expectations for an employer's responsibility varies from country to country, interest in it is growing everywhere.

In 2013, Paulig's personnel work deployed particular effort in improving and utilising the 3D process. The entire personnel of Paulig's Coffee Division underwent process-compliant target and development interviews examining the attainment and results of personal targets. Success is reflected through four subdivisions: strategy-driven working methods, improvement in skills and personal expertise, the quality of work, and operating in accordance with the values. What is important is not only achieving the targets but also acting in accordance with the values, based on previously made personal value promises.

Targeting to good leadership

The broad-based biennial TellUs personnel survey was joined by the annual Leadership poll, which measures supervisors' work and leadership. Further, last year the significant decision was made to make this Leadership survey one of the criteria for all supervisors' and managers' bonuses. An appraisal is made by the team working under each supervisor. The far-sighted development of management and supervisors' work over the past five years has opened up a new perspective for many supervisors and helped them to internalise their personal role.

Good level in work health and safety

The situation for occupational health and safety and the trend in sickness absenteeism continued to be good.

The incidence of occupational accidents at the Vuosaari roastery is extremely low. In 2013, there were two occupational accidents leading to sick leave. The personnel are encouraged to be active in reporting safety hazards they see, and these are logged in a common system. All personnel have also been issued with a pocket-sized form on which observations on safety can be noted. In 2013, 30 observations were booked against a target of 60 observations.
