Value-driven workplace

Bonava operates in markets in six different countries, and active efforts to strengthen our employees and corporate culture are particularly important. In order for every individual at Bonava to have the opportunity to grow, an environment that encourages learning and collaboration is needed as well as processes for performance and achievements under good leadership. Our strategy entails significant change processes, which further increases the need for change management.

The Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), an employee loyalty and commitment index, is Bonava’s most important employee-related indicator. During the year, we chose to highlight the most crucial of these, employee commitment, as an overall goal. Beginning in 2022, the target has been raised for Bonava’s results to be among the top ten per cent of companies. Our annual Passionate Workplace employee survey follows up on this and other aspects related to labour conditions at Bonava for the entire company. Strengths and areas for improvement are identified in the departmental evaluations, in which activity plans are drawn up and then monitored during the year. Our culture and our values are supported by a network of internal ambassadors.

The Engagement Index, measuring the level of employee engagement, is Bonava’s most important employee-related indicator. Our target is to achieve engagement levels among the top ten percent of companies, and it is followed up on in our regular employee surveys during the year. Our employee surveys also follow up on other aspects related to labour conditions and our culture and values for the entire group. Strengths and areas for improvement are identified in department evaluations, in which action plans are set and followed up on during the year.

Governance
Employee performance and development are monitored and coached in direct dialogue through a structured process in which each employee has a quarterly review with their immediate supervisor. Mutual expectations, goals and development plans are thoroughly checked during the review. In addition, every employee is supported through regular monthly meetings with their supervisor.

Evaluation
Our most important monitoring tools are our Passionate Workplace employee surveys and the processes for regular dialogue about employee performance and development.

GRI standard for sustainability reporting
Bonava reports annually for the GRI indicators 401-1 New employee hires and employee turnover, 404-3 Percentage of employees receiving regular performance and career development Reviews and Bonava's own indicator from the Passionate Workplace surveys: Engagement and loyalty.

The Bonava indicator is used to report interim results from the Passionate Workplace survey. For loyalty, this is defined by the Employee Net Promoter Score, which measures the willingness to recommend Bonava as an employer, and for engagement by the Engagement Index. The Engagement Index is built on several questions developed by Brilliant Future, our partner for employee surveys. The benchmark is based on approximately 500,000 responses from over 200 organisations in the Nordics and internationally.
