Competitive compensation and recognition Alcan believes in the importance of assessing, recognizing and rewarding the success of its employees, in both tangible an intangible ways. We establish a clear link between performance and recognition; we highlight and celebrate significant achievements and contributions; all our employees receive regular feedback, and we offer a competitive total compensation package. Our goal is to create a work environment where everyone can see a direct connection between performance and recognition, and where everyone is motivated to achieve better results and continuously improve. Total compensation package Alcan’s total compensation package includes a base salary, short- and long-term incentives and benefits as well as other forms of recognition such as the Nathanael V. Davis Award. Base salary and incentives Alcan monitors compensation programs to ensure that its monetary offers are globally competitive. The Company seeks to offer fair and just salaries and profit-sharing plans reflecting circumstances in the countries or regions where its operations are based. Alcan’s compensation policies are designed to help the organization attract, retain and motivate the employees most capable of helping it meet its business objectives. The compensation packages are internally equitable, externally competitive, and reward individual effort and achievement. Benefits and pension plans Alcan’s policy is to offer globally competitive benefits. The programs are designed to provide employees with adequate protection in the event of catastrophic personal situations. All benefits programs reinforce the Company's values and strategies. Recognition Alcan recognizes and celebrates employee events, achievements and contributions so as to ensure that improved performance is a positive and shared experience within the organization. Alcan firmly believes that the best way to recognize the contributions people make is to involve the entire organization and its various members in a daily series of efforts—manager to employee, employee to employee and even employee to manager.
