Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. It is so nice to read your favorable views of our people and benefits package. With regards to our employees, we are particularly proud of the diversity of our teams across the globe – with nearly 8,000 employees, 52 nationalities and an 80% employee index rating. Leadership is something we have been working a lot on improving recently, with our Leadership Development programs, ongoing training offerings – not to mention our new female leadership development program. One key statistic from our recent employee survey indicates we are moving in the right direction and that is: 85% of our people feel respected by their line manager or supervisor. Our Leadership Principles will ensure we continue to focus on improving in this area over the coming years.

Relaxed work atmosphere

Pros

Pay was better than most jobs in the area. As long as you did your job management left you alone and would work with you if you need a day off or something. Benefits weren't bad but also weren't the greatest.

Cons

Southern swing shift in the pulp mill, paper mill people worked 12 hrs shift 2 on 2 off, 3 on 3 off. Pay was below the industry standard. The smell from the mill would embed itself in your clothes.

We appreciate you taking the time to send us feedback. It is always nice to hear the positive things our employees, past and present, think about life at Ahlstrom-Munksjö. You touched upon the Trust we have in our people and that is actually one of our six Culture Cornerstones. We hire the best talent and trust them to help us achieve success. We will certainly take your criticism on board too – unhappy employees and stress are things we take very seriously. It affects everything from the individual’s mental health to the individual’s (and even the team’s) performance. We are already looking at ways of reducing stress globally and we are investing heavily in our Leadership Development training to ensure our global leaders are able to support their teams as best they can. As of 2020, 82% of employees felt supported by their line manager – but we believe we can get this even higher.

Pros

Great employees in the mill. Very dedicated individuals and not a hard place to work. Pay is great and this is reason for little turnover.

Cons

Top leadership and supervisors don't understand the everyday workings in the plant. Involve the individuals who are doing the job when making decisions on the machine or process.

It is so nice to read your positive feedback. We strive to hire the best people and, based on your comments, it sounds like we’ve done a pretty good job of that in your mill! We welcome your honest thoughts on the connection and communication between leadership and those in the plant too. This is something we are constantly aiming to improve. We have recently added to and improved our Leadership Development programs and have also made big changes to our internal communications in the last 12 months (with more changes to come). There is always room for improvement but we will continue to push in this area. Our most recent employee survey showed an impressive 82% of employees (globally) feel supported by their line manager.
