We are strongly committed to keeping employees up-to-date on new developments within the company through an open and transparent communication process. We use various communication tools, such as the intranet, newsletters and bulletin boards, to keep all our employees well informed. Employees are convened every three months to an information meeting for a presentation on the company's performance over the previous quarter. They are briefed on the company's financial results, the latest news, projects, transfers, appointments, new employees and the profit-sharing program. Regular team meetings are also organized for shop employees.
We also want employees to feel comfortable approaching their supervisor or any member of management. Managers have an open-door policy to encourage dialogue between employees and their employer. | |

Professional development and career advancement are part of our corporate culture. We consider our own employees for promotions by posting job offers before looking outside the company to fill vacant positions. | |
