    Personnel

    During the year in review, the focus was on developing the work of supervisors, promoting working ability and workplace wellbeing. Also new collective agreements were negotiated. Vocational training for the railway sector moved to Kouvola.

    During the year in review, the work condition barometer stood at 3.57 (compared with 3.42 in 2012). A total of 70 per cent of all employees responded to the personnel survey (compared with 64 per cent in 2012). The higher response rate shows that staff members want to influence and participate in the development of their workplace.

    Outlook

    • Expertise and a culture that generates success will be the main themes in human resources development. VR Group will draw up an operating plan for identifying and developing strategic expertise at the organisational level. The focus in the development of supervisory work will be on change management skills. A group-wide personnel survey will be carried out at the end of the year. A three-year strategy aimed at improving the image of the VR Group as an employer will also be prepared.

    • Development of the bonus schemes will continue. The aim is to find models that are more in accordance with the nature of different tasks in such areas as sales work. A new operating model for vocational training will be introduced as the VR Training Centre is no longer a part of the VR Group.
