Values and behaviors at the heart of Sulzer’s success

In 2017, Sulzer introduced a new set of simple and pragmatic values and behaviors that redefined the way the company and its employees operate. One year on, the company looks at how these values and behaviors are being brought to life.

Voice of Sulzer

In 2018, Sulzer launched a global employee survey with the aim of further strengthening the company’s culture and improving employee experience. The Voice of Sulzer, with its simple and accessible format, achieved a 73% participation rate. It returned insightful results that help Sulzer to gain a better understanding of how employees view the many different aspects of life at Sulzer.

Since their introduction a little over a year ago, the Sulzer values and behaviors are gradually being integrated into various aspects of day-to-day life at our company. They represent a common anchor and reference point across the diverse areas of our business and will continue to shape our future direction.

At a global level, Sulzer employees are highly engaged. A full 93% of respondents would go the extra mile to help Sulzer succeed. And over 80% would recommend Sulzer as a good place to work. Compared with peers in the manufacturing industry, Sulzer equals or outperforms the benchmark in eight out of ten categories.

Careful analysis of the results has given Sulzer detailed insight into employee experience, and has identified many areas where the company is performing well. The results have also revealed areas where there is room for improvement. The company will now be able to focus global efforts on these areas to further enhance the overall experience of each Sulzer employee.
