Incidents, lost days per incident, and the
number of near misses are part of each unit’s
monthly reporting to global functions. The
root causes are identified and corrective
actions are implemented to prevent the
incident or near-miss from being repeated.
Lessons learned from incidents and near
misses are shared in quarterly safety network
meetings. In addition, safety managers gather
monthly to discuss concerns and share best
practices.
KONE’s Supplier Code of Conduct requires
all our suppliers, including subcontractors,
to protect the health and safety of their
employees.
KONE’s well-being programs continued
globally during the year. These well-being
programs support the physical, social and
mental well-being of our employees.
Listening to employees
KONE organizes the European Employee
Forum every year to bring together employee
representatives and top management to
discuss issues ranging from safety to business
development. A smaller working group meets
two to four times a year to ensure continuous
consultation and communication on important
developments affecting KONE employees. In
2016, the theme of the Forum was service
culture development. Twenty-one employees
from 15 European countries participated.
Employee agreements are managed on a
national level, and there are differences in
national legislations. Approximately 40% of
KONE’s employees are covered by collective
bargaining agreements.
Open communication and sharing
At KONE, we believe employee engagement
is built on open and timely communication
about the company’s goals and ways of
doing business. We use multiple channels
to interact with employees, motivate them,
and encourage collaboration. KONE’s global
intranet, for example, acts as both a news
channel for all the latest news and events as
well as a virtual teamwork site.
The latest KONE news is also shared through
employee magazines and newsletters. In
2016, KONE published two editions of its
global employee magazine, Move, in nine
different languages.
