Work Environment

Creating Motivating Work Environments

At Olymel, addressing workforce challenges requires robust occupational health and safety programs, which are essential for minimizing risks. Employee engagement, well-being, and quality of life at work are crucial for maintaining optimal productivity. In addition, promoting civility, fairness, diversity, and inclusion, particularly with regard to the integration of foreign workers, is essential to ensuring a respectful work environment for all.

At Olymel, we care deeply about the quality of life of the people who work for us, and we do everything we can to recruit, motivate, and retain our teams.

At a time when labor shortages are a major issue, we recruit internationally each year to hire temporary foreign workers. To support their integration into the company and the communities that welcome them, we go well beyond the government programs in place with various initiatives and interventions, including:

• Dialogue with cities and regions to raise community awareness of their arrival

• Checking for the availability of suitable and well-equipped housing

• Organizing transportation to work

• Partnering with local organizations that support newcomers

To address staffing shortages, in addition to offering stable jobs and excellent career prospects, we are improving and adapting our human resources management practices and programs. We offer the following programs, among others:

• Competitive compensation

• Group insurance

• Employee assistance and attractive product discounts

• Skills development enabling employees to grow within the company and its subsidiaries

In each of our facilities, we have implemented effective prevention measures to protect everyone's physical and mental integrity. Diversity and inclusion are paramount. We are therefore committed to fostering a respectful and harmonious environment.
