Commitment to Lemminkäinen as an employer is exceptionally strong.
To maintain motivation it is essential that employees feel that they are able to use their skills and abilities in their work. Lemminkäinen’s business is based almost entirely on project working, so expertise in project work is an important common area of knowhow and development. Training in project work is provided continuously in the business areas’ own development programmes and in Group-wide programmes. The demanding and diverse Lemcon’s HRD project management training programme is still on-going. About 150 employees from all over the Group have completed this training programme, which provides comprehensive coverage of the latest knowledge and best practices.
The LeMBA management training programme for key personnel is jointly planned and implemented by Lemminkäinen and Helsinki University of Technology. Once again in 2007 a group of key personnel from all the Group’s business units took part in the programme. The aim of the programme is to familiarise the participants with different areas of business and to deepen their knowledge of Lemminkäinen Group and its various operations. The practical importance of co-operation among people working in different parts of the Group is emphasised in the LeMBA training programme.
Internal job rotation and the identification of future leaders within the organisation are very important in the development of Group-wide knowledge and co-operation networks.
