Investing in our people
Armacell is committed to a culture where all employees are valued, and fair practices are embedded. We strive to promote inclusion and equity in order to attract and retain a diverse workforce. We recognize our employees’ individual skills and needs and we are committed to nurturing their talents and providing valuable guidance to further develop their careers. By offering regular feedback sessions and strategic training opportunities, Armacell has enabled innovative successes through diverse teams and became an attractive partner for its local communities across the globe.
Safe place to work
The health and safety of our employees are paramount throughout our company and contribute to our success as a business. To provide a safe and healthy working environment for all our employees, we comply with the relevant national and international OHS systems. We see such legislation and mechanisms for ensuring compliance as an important component of our overall policy and management arrangements. High occupational health and safety (OHS) standards help to prevent accidents and have a positive impact on our employees’ motivation and satisfaction, the quality of their work and our products, as well as on the company’s reputation. In striving to achieve our zero-accident vision, Armacell further undertakes a number of measures to identify potential hazards, perform specific risk assessments and increase its employees’ awareness of potential risks. All newcomers to the company are provided with specific safety information as part of their onboarding process. Our employees working in production environments are provided with workplace-specific safety training. All external personnel are given the relevant safety information in advance, and Armacell’s regular contractors are supplied with specific safety guidelines.
Equal opportunities
Armacell fully appreciates the advantages of a diverse workforce. They include a broader selection of qualified job applicants, a higher level of identification with the company, and differing perspectives toward customers and the markets we target. We are dedicated to developing the capabilities and competencies of our people through a wide variety of training programs on the topics of leadership, demand generation, technology, compliance, and safety. In recent years, we have put great emphasis on learning, collaboration, and enhanced working conditions. This shows our commitment to fostering a culture of openness, one that recognizes people and invests in their growth and satisfaction. We also place a high priority on staffing management and employee positions locally. To grow our human capital, we support our employees’ individual professional development, develop their skills and successfully promote young talent internally.
Supporting local communities
As a global company with a strong local focus, we take our responsibility as a corporate citizen very seriously. Every year, we contribute to improving the quality of life in local communities through dedicated events and voluntary activities that are carried out with great enthusiasm by our employees. In previous years, our teams supported charity organizations that care for children or the elderly, associations advancing cancer research and small, non-profit organizations promoting the protection and preservation of biodiversity and natural ecosystems.
