KONE 2013 | CORPOR ATE RESPONSIBILIT Y REPORT
OUR PEOPLE
43
70% of competence
development happens
on the job, 20% by
learning from others
and 10% from training
and self study. During
the previous reporting
year, we created the
70-20-10 learning
guide, a practical
learning solution with
examples on building
more effective individual
development plans.
Rewarding our people
Our reward framework is intended to inspire,
motivate and engage employees through
easy-to-understand policies, guidelines and
practices that align with our business strategy
and development programs. While reward
policies are consistent across KONE, the
practices are flexible enough to meet local
needs.
Compensation and other benefits of the
Board of Directors, President and CEO, and
the Executive Board are disclosed in KONE’s
Financial Statements 2013 (p. 62–63).
Open and timely communication
Employee engagement has a lot do to with
open and timely communication about KONE’s
goals and the ways of doing business. We
use multiple channels to reach and motivate
our employees, and encourage them to
collaborate by for example offering everyone
the opportunity for language testing and online
English training.
In 2013 we rolled out a KONE Collaboration
Workplace project to improve teamwork via
the intranet. The upgraded intranet improves
document sharing and supports interactivity.
Since 1993 we have organized an annual
European Employee Forum that brings together
top management and employee representatives
to discuss issues ranging from safety to business
development. In 2013 the theme was learning
and development, and 21 employees from
15 European countries participated. A smaller
working group meets two to four times a
year to ensure continuous consultation and
communication on important developments
affecting KONE employees.
KONE’s latest news and events are published
in our intranet, employee magazine and
newsletters, which are available both on a
global and local level. In 2013, KONE published
three editions of its global employee magazine
Move, in nine languages.
