A company is created by people, their knowledge, skills and engagement. They form a foundation for profits, and basis for competitive advantage. Bearing that in mind, we take actions to create organisational culture based on mutual respect, cooperation, ensuring good relations and providing development perspectives.

Human capital is an extraordinary asset of our organisation. We treat our employees as important stakeholders of the Capital Group of Grupa KĘTY S.A.

One of our pillars in the social area is to build the image of an attractive employer in the region as well as the image of an innovative sector. We have focused on acquiring talents and building a stable and engaged team. Particularly important for us is the first contact with the potential employee. The recruitment processes at the Group companies are carried out in a transparent manner, by way of precise determination of requirements with regard to competence, and ensuring equal treatment. In the first place, we have been using the forms of internal recruitment, directing the offer to our employees, which promotes development within the organisation. The purpose of recruitment is the employment of highly qualified people, not only at the specific moment but also within the future perspective. This means, among other things, that we invite to our organisation people with extensive professional experience but also candidates interested in intensive development. We spend time and resources for both parties to achieve success.

Each new employee brings new knowledge to the organisation, as well as a different point of view and experience. Thanks to that there is a possibility to view the pending processes from another perspective, stepping out of routine and improving work. Each employee, regardless of their length of service, is treated individually and with due care.

Offering jobs, the Capital Group companies ensure to provide competitive conditions. The most important element is remuneration. Its value depends on the job valuation and is specified in pay bands disclosed in the Remuneration Rules or Collective Bargaining Agreements. Every year we carry out a pay-scale review based on market reports in that regard.

Individual remuneration is granted adequately to the scope of duties, responsibility, skills and the results achieved. Those who manage teams of people avail of incentive and bonus fund as well as other forms of award. The companies also maintain the Corporate Social Benefits Funds, within which various forms of support are provided.

Jobs are designed such as to prompt the professional development path. Moreover, companies offer the possibility of promotion in other departments or divisions, or at other companies of the Capital Group.

Regardless of the differences in operating activities, the Capital Group companies follow the universal principles, which define the nature of relationship between the employer and the employee. These include respect for diversity, ensuring equal opportunities, and mutual respect. The principles are included in the Code of Ethics and the related policies, and are reflected in the definition of each process.
