Employees

During 2010, Atlas Copco continued to focus on offering a safe, healthy and diverse working environment for all employees. In support of this, goals on safety and health as well as diversity were decided by Group Management and approved by the Board. 
 
Atlas Copco’s people management strategy is to attract, develop and keep motivated people, while expecting managers to take responsibility for developing their employees, their organizations and themselves. This is measured in employee surveys . 
  
All employees have the right to decide whether or not to be represented by a labor union, which is recognized in the Business Code of Practice . Wages and benefits are determined in accordance with market forces. The goal is to be fair, consistent and competitive, and to remain in line with the industry standards. Internal mobility for salaried employees was 9.5% and the employee turnover was 7%.
