Social responsibility in L&T's operating policy
The management of L&T is based on trust at every level of the organisation. In practice, this means genuinely sharing responsibility extensively throughout the company, which increases job satisfaction and makes work more challenging. Personnel always have sufficient authority to carry out their responsibilities. L&T aims to be a safe place to work, encouraging self-development and boldness.
When we select staff, we take account of professional skills, the ability to assume responsibility, the desire for self-development and to develop our operations. We support the transfer of current employees to new jobs within our company. We expect the agreed operating methods to be observed. A supervisor’s main objective is to guarantee the best possible conditions enabling members of staff to succeed in their work.
Management of working capacity
L&T’s objective is that as many employees as possible maintain their working capacity until retirement age. To support this objective, a working capacity management programme, Sirius, was launched in Finland with the target of reducing sickness-related absence and work disability pensions. The starting point for Sirius is that issues related to working capacity are an important part of everyday management. Uniform operating procedures have been developed for addressing problems related to working capacity, and supervisors have been trained to identify such problems as early as possible.
Occupational safety
One of the starting points for L&T’s operations is to ensure a safe working environment. This is sought by identifying the risks and hazards involved in various jobs in advance and by reducing and eliminating them proactively. The management of occupational safety risks is a part of everyday management and an essential part of L&T Integrated Management System.
Equal opportunity policy
Guidelines on equal treatment are given in the equal opportunity policy. Employees are treated equally regardless of age, gender, religion or national origin, both in recruiting and during the employment relation. Procedures are defined in L&T Integrated Management System, and in countries outside Finland they are stricter than legislation.
