Focus on leadership 

In 2008, KONE chose People Leadership as one of its five strategic global development areas. Through this initiative, we aim to improve our leadership capabilities to inspire, engage and develop our people for outstanding performance.

KONE carries out an annual leadership and talent review process to ensure that resources are allocated in the right way to meet current and future business needs. In this process, we evaluate our management, identify successors, plan for career development and identify potential candidates for future management positions.

KONE aims to have the best possible professional in each position. We look for a diverse workforce to create a dynamic and inspiring work environment to produce the best results in everything we do.

Most of KONE’s management has risen through the ranks within the company. We also actively seek external candidates for key positions to promote a continuous renewal of the way we approach our business operations.
