Workforce Activities
We aspire to be an employer of choice. We recognize that our success is dependent on the caliber and motivation of our people.
• Recruitment and Retention:
Our policy involves the right placement of people in the right roles and retention of talented people. Annual employee surveys are conducted to provide information on what employees' value and where they want us to improve.
• Training and Development:
The annual training plan achievement is measured to monitor performance and progress. Effectiveness of training programs is also monitored through annual performance appraisal of staff and delegation of responsibilities.
• Freedom of association and collective bargaining -
Our employees belong to a vibrant local union and an industry wide trade union. The company implemented the 2006 collective agreement negotiated by the industrial trade union on due date of December 1, 2006.

The tuition costs of pre-approved and relevant programs of study are fully paid for by the company.

• Life After Work training:
We constantly remind staff of the inevitability of retirement and train them to face the challenges of that situation when it occurs.
