MAMFORCE Partnership

In line with the advice received from the MAMFORCE team, Podravka introduced a series of new measures for employee performance monitoring, as well as measures aimed at improved gender equality and work-life balance. Several projects have been launched in this context, such as: Open Doors Day of the HR department, and in-depth study of corporate climate, organisational culture, and employee engagement. A comprehensive program for the assessment and development of management has been put in place, along with the program for detection of talents and successors (Compass), and the program for enhancement of employee resilience (Future Resilience, Balthasar), along with several others. Education and training programs for all levels of management were provided to raise their awareness of the importance of employee wellbeing, flexible working arrangements have been introduced, health benefits have been strengthened through the introduction of various preventive check-ups, and the program to support parents is now being offered (Parenthood and Child-rearing). As Podravka employs a significant number of workers from distant countries, a special program was developed for them as well, to facilitate their speedy integration into the working environment, with the daily help from colleagues and supervisors.
