Our people are the most important resource for our success.
In this context we have established an organised and up to date Human Resources Division for the company aimed at identifying, attracting, developing and retaining qualified employees and executives.
We aim to provide a safe and creative workplace, which promotes trust, team spirit and respect for people, along with effectiveness.
We are committed to providing the best possible working conditions, securing respect for human rights and for the freedom of association, upholding nondiscrimination and providing equal opportunities for learning and personal development.
We support equal treatment for men and women, with equal opportunities for all. However, owing to the nature of the work and the skills required at the refinery, the percentage of women employees is relatively low. Thus, in 2021, on average, 17% of all employees were female.
We place significant emphasis of the level of education of our people and our primary goal is to attract, grow and maintain employees that are highly trained and capable.
Ongoing education
Investment in ongoing training for our employees is a strategic choice and a key element in the process of aligning our workforce’s skills with the full range of objectives and ambitions of the company.
Therefore, Motor Oil designs and implements each year, a comprehensive program of education and in-house training for employees. The basic objective served by this program, is to continually enrich the vocational knowledge of our employees, expanding their range of skills, while also upgrading their level of technical training, allowing them to carry out their everyday and more long-term tasks.
In 2021 we materialized educational programs that counted for 34,878 manhours involving the participation of 81% of the company’s employees.
