Integrated Report 2023

Employment

  • GRI 2-7
  • GRI 2-8
As at the end of 2023, the headcount on the basis of employment contracts at the Capital Group companies equalled 5,446 people, which means a reduction by 1% compared with the end of December 2022 (except for specific work contracts, agency contracts or other – complete data in the table below).

The basic form of employment at the Capital Group companies are employment contracts, among which over 85% is represented by contracts for unlimited term. Among those employed based on employment contracts 31% at the end of 2023 was represented by women.

The headcount of people working on employment contracts at the Polish companies of the Capital Group equalled 4,783 at the end of 2023, and dropped by 1% y/y. The foreign companies employed 663 people at the end of 2023, which is also a drop by 1% y/y.

At the domestic companies the first contract is signed for a 3-month trial period. Owing to the fact that in such a short period it is difficult to assess the skills and potential of an employee, we have planned to extend the trial term and, therefore, specific term contracts are signed. Specific-term contracts do not exceed the maximum period of work provided by law, i.e. 33 months.

The average monthly headcount was 247 people, whereas the number is usually higher in the second half of the year. Temporary work was performed on production and warehouse positions.

Employment indicators

  • GRI 401-1

In 2023, the companies of the Capital Group were joined by 620 people, including 30% of women.

In the discussed period, 980 employees left the Company. Among that group 36% were aged below 30 years, and 7% were aged over 60 years.

Defining the goals in our business strategy as regards social indicators, we referred mainly to staff turnover, calculated as the product of the total number of employees who left the organisation within the last 12 months to the average headcount.

Our objective is to reduce the ratio by 5% y/y. Owing to the pandemic, the value of the indicator in 2020 was disturbed compared with the preceding years, therefore, 2019 was assumed as the base year. Thus, we have determined partial goals for the particular years. Starting from the value of 12.6 in 2019, we have determined the maximum level as 10.26 in 2023.

Our result in 2023 was 12.2 (compared with 12.3 in 2022), which means that the assumed goal was not attained.

A key tool for the staff turnover ratio are the exit interviews with the employees leaving the organisation. We have been analysing their opinions regarding working conditions and company offer, collecting valuable remarks, and based on that we have been improving our working environment.
