Employee engagement: a pillar of the Alcoa Business System (ABS)
One of the ways we engage our employees is through the Alcoa Business System (ABS), since improvement and problem-solving rely on employee involvement. Employee engagement is, in fact, one of the three fundamental principles of the ABS system, along with internal and external client satisfaction, and enhancement through the elimination of waste. Throughout our operations, employees are invited to actively participate in life at the plant.
Fostering engagement through recognition
Sharing best practices is at the heart of Alcoa's success. The most noteworthy initiatives receive worldwide Impact Awards. These awards, the highest distinction that Alcoa gives its employees, highlight the strengthening of human values, the improvement of economic performance and a positive public profile, while motivating employees to do their best to improve performance and generate enviable results.
