Remuneration and
benefits (G4-LA1 and G4-LA2)
Eldorado remuneration strategy is
aligned with the market and the
industry and is aimed at recogniz-
ing employees' skills and behaviors
as a means of motivating team
engagement to drive business con-
tinuity. As part of its commitment
to generate value for the region
in which its largest operation is
located, whenever possible Eldo-
rado prioritizes the hiring of local
work force.
In 2016, the lowest remuneration
paid by the company was R$ 937,
6.48% higher than the national
minimum salary (R$ 880). Remu-
neration policy makes no distinc-
tion between men and women,
meaning that any differences in
salary are the result of perfor-
mance appraisals related to the
employee's position. Especially
among operational personnel, the
majority of whom are men, remu-
neration may be higher in function
of the activities exercised.
In addition to fixed remuneration,
the company offers variable remu-
neration and a series of benefits,
which also helps consolidate the
organizational climate and drive
professional satisfaction and busi-
ness results. The benefits package
includes meal vouchers or meals,
transportation, life insurance,
medical and dental assistance, cov-
erage for incapacity and invalidity,
private pension plan and maternity
and paternity leave.
The number of admissions and dis-
missals remained stable in 2016.
Maternity and paternity
leave
All the 226 employees who took
leave returned to work and re-
mained in the work force in 2016
d
The turnover rate was similar to
that of previous years, with a
higher turnover among operational
personnel in the Três Lagoas plant
and in the silviculture area, where
the size of teams tends to fluctu-
ate during the course of the year
in function of the planting sched-
ule (more complete information on
remuneration in the Attachments
section).
Managing health and
safety
More than anything, valuing the El-
dorado work force means ensuring
a safe and healthy work environ-
ment for all. This commitment is
evident in the diverse practices
already consolidated into work
routines and in the company's
low accident and incident rates.
In 2016, the number of injuries
remained stable compared to the
previous year, while the number of
days lost when an employee is
unable to work due to a workplace
accident or occupational disease
decreased significantly.
-
In addition to safety training,
provided for new employees and
reinforced periodically for older
ones, the company organizes Daily
Safety Dialogues (DSD), which
address a different subject each
day, strengthening the concepts
of workplace safety and clarifying
any employee doubts. The com-
pany also encourages employees to
communicate risks and incidents,
without exposing the individuals
involved.
Another measure is the Internal
Accident Prevention Week (SIPAT
in the Portuguese acronym), which
involved almost 2,000 people in
2016. Focused on the theme of
safe behavior, the programming in-
cluded talks, measurement of blood
pressure and tests for glycaemia,
as well as musical presentations
and awards.
The forestry area also participated
with its Rural Work Internal Acci-
dent Prevention Week (Sipatr), with
theater performances, talks on
subjects such as the environment,
employee health, draws with prizes
and a number of interactive events
over a two-week period. Around
1,800 people took part in the
activities, organized in the munici-
palities of Selviria, Inocência, Santa
Rita do Pardo and Água Clara.
In February, Eldorado organized
its "Programa Dias" (Days Program)
for the third time, focused on pre-
vention and involving more than
one thousand employees.
The measure engaged the entire
forestry safety area and partners
in wide-ranging discussions on
safety, further reinforcing company
culture.
Health and well-being
The company also organized a
campaign aimed at timber trans-
porters in Santa Rita do
Pardo, with safety actions under-
taken on the roads used by the
company. In addition to raising
community awareness, the initia-
tive is applied in training for truck
drivers. The community is also en-
couraged to report any deviations,
such as imprudent driving, acci-
dents and the like, via the toll-free
telephone 0800 7279906.
The initiatives to promote employee
health and well-being included a
vaccination campaign against influ-
enza H1N1, quick massage sessions
on Fridays and the organization of
an internal five-a-side soccer tour-
nament and running activities.
