To preserve a strong corporate culture

2017-06-27 News

"Bulten has a very strong corporate culture and we are proud to have been in business for so many years - that is something that shows we are a sustainable company."

Bulten’s overall goal in its work with sustainability is that it must be a natural part of ongoing activities throughout the entire business. How will Bulten achieve this?

Through regular dialogue about how and why we act responsibly towards various stakeholders. We must communicate our objectives and how we are performing, as well as presenting the activities that will get us there. It is, and will remain, a combination of several different factors that will contribute to our employees throughout the organization being made aware of sustainability issues.

What opportunities do you see?

Bulten has a very strong corporate culture and we are proud to have been in business for so many years - that is something that shows we are a sustainable company.

The opportunities ahead are to implement the company’s strategy and thus secure sustainable employment for our employees. We will continue to run the business ethically, manage risks, ensure quality and delivery, constantly developing a capable and flexible organization which offers equal opportunities. We will reduce environmental impact throughout the supply chain and support the community in which we operate as we continue to be a good local partner and thereby build a long-term position in each market.

Bulten’s corporate culture is a major contributory factor to the company’s success. How will you work to preserve and strengthen this?

A prerequisite for preserving and strengthening the corporate culture is to always focus on our core values and ensure that they permeate everything we do. This should include everything from company-wide communication to conversations around our core values in performance appraisals. We should also consider core values in an educational context and in the recruitment process, etc.

Managers and employees should feel that they can have a good, regular development dialogue based on the employee’s assignment, potential and ambition. The goal is that all employees feel they have clear roles and understand how they can contribute in the best way.

As support for managers and employees, we will continue to work with our common HR policies and processes based on our core values and we want to involve all employees in the continual development of the company’s culture by implementing a company-wide employee survey. Through such an approach, we can collect business information directly from employees about how they see us, both as a company and as an employer, how they feel and the areas of improvement there might be. The goal is that employees feel and see that in future, as the Bulten Group develops further, that we have managed to establish sustainable HR work throughout.

Finally, what was your first impression of Bulten when you came here during the year?

Bulten is a company that has built up and maintained a very good corporate culture, both in prosperity and adversity and has a high level of loyalty. I have had the privilege of visiting all our companies and spoken to many colleagues and all have taken up the importance of Bulten’s corporate culture. There is a creative environment, it’s not hierarchical, you can get help when you need it and there’s possibilities for continuous improvements. This we’ll defend, and continue to build on.
