Driving success with a diverse workforce
We are a truly global company, with a diverse workforce spread across more than 80 countries. This gives us our most important asset and cutting edge – a group of colleagues with a vast variety of backgrounds, experiences, skills and knowledge. Our goal is to give every employee a fantastic place to work, one where they feel valued and have opportunities to develop.Our Diversity and Equal Opportunity Policy states that all employment and career development decisions must be based on merit and made to support business goals. A key goal of this policy is to ensure that everyone at Hempel has the opportunity to develop and reach their full potential.Currently, the number of women in management positions doesn’t reflect the percentage of women in our organisation. This is not good enough. Our target is for 25 per cent of our management positions to be filled by women by 2022, equal to the percentage of women in our organisation. To support this, female leaders can take part in a 12-month mentoring programme, in which they work with a mentor to accelerate their development and prepare for future challenges.
