All employees should feel proud to work at PostNord.
Conscious workplace equality and diversity efforts contribute to motivated employees, satisfied customers and a strong brand.
Differences enrich
The group’s efforts to promote equality and diversity are based on our view that differences between people can enhance the work environment by making it more attractive and dynamic.
Equality
PostNord strives to offer equal opportunities to men and women and opposes unfair pay differentials. The group has for many years worked with equality issues, but there are still a number of areas for improvement.
In order to step up the pace of equality efforts, management has established a group-wide goal to increase the proportion of female managers to 40% by 2015. In 2010, 30% of leadership positions within the group were filled by women.
In Denmark we have joined the ”Charter for More Women in Leadership Roles” initiated by the Danish Minister of Equality. The project was established in cooperation with public and private organizations whose goals include increasing the proportion of women in leadership positions.
Diversity
The group has a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination. Our workplaces are to be characterized by respect for the equal value of all individuals. With nearly 70 nationalities, 50 languages and numerous cultures and religions represented among our employees, challenges regularly emerge. The cooperation that is needed to overcome these challenges benefits everyone - individuals, the business and the community.
Support can be found in the Danish værdier/leveregler and in the Code of Conduct. Each workplace is expected to promote increased awareness of these documents and obtain employee support. Adherence is evaluated in employee satisfaction surveys, employee discussions and work environment surveys.
An open workplace
There are also many good examples from within PostNord where people with functional disabilities are offered assistance in order to be able to work on the same terms as other employees. This is one way for PostNord to exercise its social responsibility in a way that benefits both individuals and the business.
The parcel terminal in Brøndby is one example. During periods when hearing-impaired employees have worked at the terminal, employee satisfaction surveys have shown a considerable increase in satisfaction and pride among terminal employees in general.
