image text: A fair workplace

A stimulating, just and safe place to work

A creative environment with good learning opportunities. A culture of equal opportunities. Safe workplaces and a healthy work-life balance.

A learning environment
The Volvo Group companies rely on in-house training organizations that help employees to develop their competence so that they can better contribute to the business goals.

Cooperation with trade unions
The right to be a trade union member and to negotiate collective agreements is respected throughout the Volvo Group and established in the Code of Conduct.  It is sometimes necessary to restructure parts of the Volvo Group's operations. In conjunction with any such restructuring, compliance with legislation, regulations and practices in each country is always observed.

A fair wage policy
The principles governing wages, salaries and remuneration should be clear and familiar to everyone. Wages and salaries should be individual and differentiated, and must be based on the same grounds for all employees.

Wages, salaries and remunerations should contribute to Volvo Group's image as an attractive company.

Reducing sickness absenteeism
In recent years, greater attention has been devoted to health and sickness absenteeism. Reduced sickness absenteeism can improve the quality of life of the individuals concerned and also help cut costs for the Volvo Group.

These efforts encompass workplace ergonomics, health risks and how to prevent them, along with various support programs, medical examinations and health issues in connection with work-related travel and stationing abroad.
