Social responsibility Spotlight on our people Social dialogue Social dialogue, i.e. the way we as a company look after our employees, is an important part of our employee and organisational development strategy (the Blum Path). It covers all aspects of employee development, from comprehensive apprenticeship training to health and safety protocols, knowledge and learning opportunities and all other employee initiatives implemented by Blum in these areas. Our aim is to support our employees in both their personal and professional development while at the same time looking after their physical, mental and social wellbeing – in other words ensuring that they feel satisfied at work. We have chosen to adopt this far-reaching approach for two reasons: firstly, we are conscious of our social responsibilities as the largest employer in our region; and secondly, our employees are vital to the current and future success of our business. We therefore take our relationship with our employees very seriously and take action on many different fronts, as we explain in more detail in this chapter. ➔ GRI 3-3 – Training opportunities updated and extended – Trainers’ network (Learning Marketplace) strengthened – Instructions and accident reporting procedures revised and improved – Software introduced to provide oversight of these procedures Key points 60 © Copyright by Blum
