A quality approach to improving employee satisfaction
A good work experience is an important aspect of business success, so Philip Morris systematically collects employee feedback on their satisfaction. After collecting feedback, the company draws up an action plan to improve specific aspects of the HR system. Health care initiatives are also regularly implemented, including specialist consultations and special benefits for family members. Employees are offered flexible working arrangements and in the latest survey they showed high satisfaction with the balance between private and professional life. In addition, they expressed satisfaction with the quality of communication with managers, interpersonal relationships and team cohesion.
Systematic support for development
Philip Morris Zagreb invests significant financial resources and time in employee training and education. Employees regularly use numerous development opportunities, such as internal academies and mentoring programs. Also, everyone can progress horizontally, i.e. take on new roles in different areas within the company and enrich their career with diverse competencies. In addition, the company encourages a culture of innovation, so employees have access to numerous tools and materials, as well as additional training.
Applying best practices in human resources management is of strategic importance to us because we believe that motivated and satisfied employees are key to the long-term success and sustainable growth of our company. We are particularly proud of our achievements in the area of equality, inclusion and diversity, where we have exceeded the company’s global goal of an equal ratio of women and men in management positions, with a system according to which women and men in our company are paid equally for the same work, emphasized Marin Mlinarić, Member of the Board for Human Resources and Corporate Culture of Philip Morris Zagreb.
In addition to providing opportunities for development, the company recognizes and rewards the efforts and contributions of employees. Through the local recognition program, those who truly make a difference with their efforts and work are rewarded. In parallel, global programs reward innovative ideas and methods that contribute to the development and efficiency of the business, as well as excellent teams and individuals who contribute to the implementation of the business strategy.
