Recruitment Process

During our recruitment processes, we evaluate applications transparently by including the job description and competencies of our open positions in the advertisements we publish on human resources platforms and through our stakeholders with whom we do business. During the interview process, which includes an online and a face-to-face interview, we always make sure that candidates are informed about the result of their interview, whether positive or negative. We keep application details for periods in accordance with our procedure set out in the Candidate Disclosure Text.

Training and Development at arcoglobal

We always offer training and development opportunities in our company to support the professional and personal development of our employees. Our training programs aim to increase the skills of our employees, help them achieve their career goals and improve their job performance. All training sessions and seminars organized within this scope provide an accessible and supportive learning environment for all our employees.

Through English Teaching Courses, Vocational Training and Mastery Certificates, Leadership Training, Personal Development Training and On-the-Job Orientation Training, we always aim to support our employees’ promotion and transfer processes, along with their personal development journeys.

We provide the training and resources necessary for our employees to make a successful transition in the event of a promotion or change of role. During this process, we provide comprehensive support so that they can adapt to their new duties quickly and effectively, and create opportunities for their development.

With orientation training, we aim for employees to adapt to the company quickly. We leverage certain human resources portals to help new hires and probationary employees reach training videos with a focus on technical work, communication, and project management and to share the experience our company has gained in the sector with each of our employees. We consider professional development and vocational high schools as important stakeholders in our sector and carry out cooperation activities. We participate in sector-based career fairs and organize summer or long-term internship programs for high school and university students, giving young talents a strong start in their careers.

Work Environment:

We consider the health and safety of our employees as a top priority and provide them with a safe and motivating work environment.

In the common areas of our Head Office building, there are social spaces reserved for fun activities such as drinking coffee or playing table tennis or foosball.

Working Model

We implement a hybrid working model so that our employees can maintain their work-life balance. We provide the opportunity to work remotely for certain days and hours in the weekly work schedule planned according to the department’s requirements.

Orientation

Our company’s orientation policy is planned to ensure that our new employees learn the company culture, policies and business processes quickly and effectively. If there is any change in current employees, we update our orientation program accordingly.

Our orientation plan consists of items such as our company introduction, the history of our company, our group companies, our HR policies, department introductions, our company rules, our entry-exit hours and working order, departmental duties and responsibilities, general use of office devices, basic OHS and vocational training dates, as well as access to our orientation videos, business processes and social activities.

We have a Buddy System that we implement to help our new employees adapt to the job quickly and successfully. Every new hire is assigned a buddy who helps them understand the workplace culture and adapt to processes while at the same time guiding them through their daily workflow.

Career & Performance Management

We care about supporting our employees in their career journeys by taking into account their talents and interests.

We support our employees’ career development with regular performance assessments and feedback. By providing such feedback, we enable employees to identify their strengths and areas for development.

We use a feedback method where our current employees can share information about all the issues they want to express using the Employee Satisfaction Survey applications that we publish for white-collar and blue-collar employees at the end of each year.

Employee Commitment and Communication

We listen to our employees’ opinions and evaluate improvement opportunities at employee representative meetings and through the implementation of wish & suggestion evaluation sessions.

Employee Feedback Processes

We conduct employee satisfaction surveys at regular intervals to increase employee satisfaction. We take into consideration all kinds of feedback and create necessary actions and plans. Every piece of feedback received is critical to supporting the development of our company and increasing workplace satisfaction.

At the end of our new employees’ probation period, we conduct a survey so that they can evaluate their experiences and provide feedback on their first impressions and adaptation processes in the workplace.

Women’s Employment in Manufacturing

At Arcoglobal, we support women’s contribution to business life and the economy by encouraging women employment in the area of manufacturing. We aim to increase the percentage of our female employees with our “Women’s Employment in Manufacturing” project, which provides equal employment opportunities for female employees who have not previously taken an active role in business life, do not have any professional qualifications, or who want to return to business life following a maternity leave.

Side Benefit Practices

Our company aims to support working life and increase satisfaction with the side benefits it offers. Our side benefits include supplementary health insurance, grocery vouchers, stationery support during the school opening period, transportation support and holiday allowance.

We prioritize the health of our employees by covering the on-the-job health report fees.

We organize birthday celebration events to make our employees feel special on their birthdays.

We celebrate special occasions such as mother’s day, weddings, new baby arrivals, father’s day, women’s day together with our employees by giving them small gifts.

By organizing many non-work activities such as happy hours, hello summer events, and New Year’s Eve events, we keep the team spirit up and create a more enjoyable work environment.
