Efficient and stable organization
The LOTOS Group is one of the largest enterprises in Central and Eastern Europe. We are also a leading employer in the Gdańsk Province, which allows numerous residents of the region and their families to earn a good living. We conduct our business with a great sense of responsibility, having in mind also the need to create value for other stakeholders of the organization.
Responsible recruitment + professional development of employees + high security standards = competitive advantage
The employees are the most important capital of the LOTOS Group. Qualified staff are a source of competitive advantage on the market. Because of that, as a modern and dynamically growing business, we take proper care to ensure continuous professional development of employees. One of our priorities is the safety and health of our employees and those employed by our subcontractors who work for the LOTOS Group.
Our key initiatives and achievements in building an efficient and stable organization in 2015:
- In response to the market challenges (oil price movements, risk of growing competition from outside Europe, and expected decline in fuel consumption), in 2015 we introduced a new organizational structure to the LOTOS Group. It was the most extensive change in the structure of our organization in many years.
- By the end of 2015, the LOTOS Group had achieved all its organizational security targets set for 2012-2015.
- We developed a ‘Strategy for LOTOS as Employer Brand’, together with an ‘Operational Plan’ and a set of efficiency measures. Our activities in this area are to help us find, hire and retain competent employees who will support us in the delivery of the LOTOS business strategy. The strategy is centered on the creation of an engaging and friendly workplace based on communication, positive relations and values.
