A job atmosphere marked by mutual trust, transparent communication and close cooperation
People need information. The organization provides information on values, vision, strategies, competition, performance and changes that could affect employees. At Alcan, information is shared in a timely and consistent fashion.
Managers view the care of their employees as their responsibility. As a result, they communicate openly, set clear performance targets, and take a genuine interest in the needs and expectations of their people. Since we believe that Alcan is only as strong as its weakest link, managers champion individual development for all their employees. One of the best ways to ensure that you continue to grow as a professional is to surround yourself with talented and insightful coworkers. The opportunity to work with topnotch colleagues is one of the main reasons people join and stay with Alcan.
There is a high level of trust within the organization. Employees feel comfortable taking chances. The Company encourages team building, project assignments involving work with peers and opportunities for social interaction. The sharing of expertise, best practices and human resources demonstrates our commitment to teamwork and cooperation. At Alcan, individual success never overrides the interests of the organization. Status symbols are kept to a minimum. People from different hierarchical levels are given the opportunity to collaborate on projects so they can learn from each other.
