Employees, residents and sustainable cities
Responsibility for our employees
- We invest in the well-being of our employees, for example, by providing high-quality, comprehensive occupational health care – and the low number of absences due to sickness is proof of how successful our approach is.
- Good team spirit and the support of colleagues and supervisors help with managing at work.
- We have a zero tolerance policy with regard to harassment, discrimination and inappropriate behaviour, and we will tackle such incidents immediately.
- Actual or suspected conflicts of interest can and should be reported confidentially and anonymously.
- We carry out regular work satisfaction surveys to identify mutual development targets.
- We ensure the expertise of our employees by means of training and encourage our employees to train and develop on the job.
- We encourage our employees to take care of their health by enabling and engaging them to take part in different exercise and sports events and campaigns.
- We support the well-being of our employees by providing annual exercise and culture vouchers.
- We conduct performance appraisals or target reviews on a semi-annual basis.
- We take care of ergonomics and monitor the implementation together with occupational health.
- We provide high-quality, modern and healthy workspaces – we look after our employees.
Responsibility for residents
- We design diverse and communal residential areas without any form of segregation.
- We respect the cultural heritage of the residential area.
- Our homes are safe and healthy to live in.
- Living in our homes is based on full-cost pricing. In other words, Avain homes are reasonably priced and provide a high quality of life.
- Our residents get a say in matters related to their buildings in accordance with the management-by-residents model.
- Our right-of-occupancy residents have many opportunities to take part in the decision-making related to their building and contribute to the implementation of community spirit.
- We conduct various annual resident surveys on the basis of which we are able to improve resident satisfaction.
- We also perform resident satisfaction surveys in connection with moving in and out.
- We provide open information regarding our sites and construction projects.
Responsibility for construction sites
- We ensure occupational safety in our offices and on our sites.
- We regularly monitor occupational accidents. The ideal house construction (TR) measurement index level is 95%, and the ideal falling protection level is 100%.
- We monitor the implementation of occupational safety on a weekly basis with independent TR measurements. Our realisation is 10–15 accidents/million work hours.
- We systematically monitor near misses.
- Our goal is zero accidents.
