Fair treatment & opportunities for all

We are committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive culture, grounded on fair opportunities. These elements set the foundation to how business is done at Kalmar.

As an employer, Kalmar impacts the way employees experience their workplace, both physically and psychologically and thus, has the responsibility to ensure that people feel safe coming to work as they are and express themselves freely. 

A diverse work environment where employees feel included is considered to drive creativity, innovation and growth, as they encourage individuals to reveal their knowledge and skills. In case of discrimination, harassment or bullying, affected employees may suffer direct impacts to their mental health, and discrimination may result in poorer career opportunities for those who are discriminated against. Kalmar has zero tolerance for discrimination in all its forms.

Kalmar believes in fostering people's growth through a variety of different formats. The company prioritises regular development discussions, ensuring that its employees’ career aspirations are actively supported. Kalmar sees its leaders as coaches, supporting its employees’ potential and guiding them towards success within the company. The company is committed to developing its employees, whether it’s through on-the-job experiences, social interaction, or formal training. Also, as part of the learning philosophy, Kalmar aims to offer its employees opportunities for internal transfers, job rotations, and involvement in challenging projects and assignments.

Fair treatment and opportunities for all is embedded into existing Human Resources processes to make it a natural part of Kalmar’s culture. By embedding the topic, it serves as guiding principles for improvement priorities in talent acquisition, people and culture development, employee relations, and performance and rewards.
