The “New Employee Mentor” programme
Re Alloys is a team of experts built by people of diverse competencies, age, education and origin. What they all have in common is the work place. We create it so that it is a friendly place for employees and associates. All activities covered by our Employment policy are based on assumptions that people are our best asset and the most important stakeholders. Currently, we employ nearly 500 people.
HUMAN RIGHTS
Employees have the opportunity to join professional organisations that represent their interests, which is an important element of respecting human rights and fostering social dialogue within the Company.
At Re Alloys, we support diversity by recognising the varied experiences, beliefs, and individual qualities of our employees. We foster a work culture based on mutual understanding and tolerance. By embracing diversity, we draw on these different experiences, recognising the unique potential of each employee. We strive to ensure equal access to all positions at every level of the organisation.
We support the development of our employees and reward them by linking the level of bonuses to their contribution and achieved results. We pay particular attention to the principle of continuous improvement, based on active evaluation as well as on the lessons learned from our successes and failures. To assess progress in development, we use a dedicated tool called the Competence Matrix, in which results are recorded. We give our employees the opportunity to grow and plan their career path, including through internal promotions. We highly value skills stemming from diverse education and professional experience. We ensure equal employment opportunities for women and men across all types of work and at all organisational levels, and we prevent all forms of discrimination.
Thanks to a structured onboarding process, every employee has the opportunity to quickly become familiar with the rules of our organisation, learn about its values, and integrate more efficiently into their role.
For many years, two programmes have been in place at Re Alloys that help increase employee engagement and improve the quality of their work:
The “New Employee Mentor” programme
The programme is designed to provide support in the onboarding process of a new employee through an assigned Mentor, which in turn enables the Trainee Employee to adapt more quickly to their new responsibilities. The training programme for a new employee consists of two stages: Stage One – Training I carried out as part of “Team 0”, and Stage Two – Training II. Stage One may last up to 10 working days, while Stage Two covers a period of 8 weeks.
As part of Training I, “Team 0” is created, with the objective that new employees perform their duties exclusively on the first shift, from Monday to Friday. During this time, the new employee has the opportunity to familiarise themselves with a wide range of tasks related to production work.
Once the employee is assigned to the appropriate team, a Mentor is appointed, whose role is to provide support and assistance in the full onboarding process for the position.
ReA Manager’s Academy
Aimed at the company’s managers, the programme includes regular workshops that enhance both the soft and hard skills of our management team. Participation in the programme helps us improve internal communication and raise the quality of work. The initiative also supports the development of a robust managerial competence system, strengthens the transparency of decision-making processes, and promotes responsible management practices, forming an important part of the Company’s long-term approach to employee development.
In response to the needs reported by employees and in line with the provisions of the Labour Code concerning remote work, the Company has introduced the Occasional Remote Work Regulations. The purpose of this document is to define the rules for performing work outside the employer’s premises within the statutory limits, while ensuring data security and proper work organisation. This solution continues the flexible working arrangements implemented during the pandemic, supporting work–life balance for our employees and addressing the evolving needs of the modern workplace.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
A high level of workplace safety is particularly important to us. We fulfil this commitment by ensuring appropriate working conditions and by raising awareness in the area of occupational health and safety. In line with our strategy to maximise the safety of employees, subcontractors, visitors, and clients, we have introduced a number of internal regulations aimed at enhancing safety. Their purpose is to eliminate workplace accidents, occupational diseases, and potentially hazardous incidents.
For employees of companies performing work on the premises of Re Alloys, we have introduced, in the form of an instruction, the “General Information on Occupational Health and Safety for Employees of External Companies Providing Services for Re Alloys”. The information it contains relates to the application of health and safety regulations as well as compliance with fire safety rules by external contractors. Based on this instruction, training is provided to employees of external companies on existing hazards, harmful and dangerous factors, the risk of explosive atmospheres, rules for moving around the site, compliance with OHS and fire safety regulations, and the provision of first aid. For each subcontractor, the Contractor is obliged to comply with the requirements outlined in the instruction. Completion of this training is confirmed in writing.
Effective internal communication is essential for the smooth functioning of the company and for achieving business objectives. We make sure it is based on dialogue. Examples of such initiatives include the introduction of communication boxes, through which employees can submit their ideas and feedback, as well as the publication of the quarterly “Lumek”, co-created by employees from various levels across our group. These activities strengthen transparency, build a culture of openness, and foster integration within the organisation.
