STRENGTHENING THE
CULTURE
With the new acquisitions, Orizon last year increased its number of
active employees by 80%, rising from 1,055 in 2021 to 1,897 in 2022. As
the new employees came together with the assets acquired from another
company, a great deal of time was spent adapting these people to the
Orizon culture. To do so, the company worked with a broad integration
process, formatting actions to verticalize the initiatives and create a single
culture. Amongst these actions, of special importance was the revision of
the online content published by the Corporate University, which needed
to be distributed across modules that are accessible to all the employees
at any time. One of the objectives has been to invest heavily in the Human
Resources department in 2023, creating an excellent professional environment
for individual development.
The Company does not accept any form of discrimination and works to
ensure that this does not take place, with campaigns against the abuse of
power, threats, intimidation, violence, and moral and sexual harassment.
The conduct and the Code of Ethics go together in the sense that everyone
should be treated with respect, irrespective of their individual qualities. In
2022, the company undertook five actions involving 925 employees from
its new plants, designed to provide guidance on these issues. As well as the
in-person training sessions, there was online instruction on the 21 principal
axes of the Compliance Program for those in the company with access
to e-mail, as well as specific campaigns and communications, involving
subjects such as communications tackling harassment and non-retaliation.
When comparing 2021 and 2022, the Company practically doubled the
number of female employees, closing the year with 79% of its workforce
comprised of men and 21% women, with 10% of these women holding
leadership positions. The company is also committed to fighting ageism,
and encourages the hiring of employees aged over 50, with the presence of
this age group increasing 60% since 2021. As such, the company is seeking
to provide a creative environment, by means of a balanced interaction
between mature professionals and young, recently graduated managers
or employees, thereby encouraging a culture of diversity and inclusion.
For Orizon, our employees should grow
together with the company, since they form
an essential part of the good development of
the business. As such, the Company works to
ensure a harmonious and trusting relationship,
with initiatives that facilitate cooperation
amongst all and the effective communication
from one to another.
