Fundamental belief in the value of people Alcan has implemented processes and policies that demonstrate its deep commitment to the "value, talent and potential of people." In fact, this "fundamental belief" is part of an organizational culture that creates a sense of ownership and commitment with regard to the Company’s business strategies and its governing objective, Maximizing Value. At Alcan, we truly believe that it is impossible to develop a business plan without simultaneously creating a related "human resources project." Our objective is to hold onto our promising employees, maximize the skill levels and expertise of each employee and ensure the long-term sustainability of the Company by training employees as leaders and recruiting elite candidates from outside the Company. By displaying, throughout the organization, "a fundamental belief in the value, talent and potential of people," we will help Alcan take advantage of growth opportunities as they emerge and allow the Company to more quickly adapt to changing business conditions. In short, our human resources practices are designed to ensure that Alcan employees stay with us because they feel they are "in the right place." This may be because they feel that their careers are progressing, that their skills are becoming sharper, that their competencies are being rewarded or simply that Alcan recognizes the need for balance between professional and personal lives and works hard to facilitate both. These reasons alone are sufficient to justify your interest in joining and staying with Alcan, but the single most important reason is that Alcan believes in people!
