| Conducting employee satisfaction survey (Wevox) | As part of our efforts to establish favorable mutual relations between the employees and the company, we conduct regular employee satisfaction surveys through the platform called Wevox to evaluate job satisfaction levels, work environment satisfaction levels, and other requests to the company. By hearing from our employees, we are able to identify areas where we can improve the well-being of our employees and working environment of the organization. |
A dedicated HR team analyses the results of these employee satisfaction surveys and shares the analysis with group leaders, who then follow up by holding individual one-on-one meetings etc.
In addition, based on feedback from employees, we have introduced a variety of measures designed to improve employee comfort, health, and ease of work.
