Wärtsilä’s procedures for consulting and informing within the Group are arranged in each country according to local legislation. Wärtsilä’s Code of Conduct calls for ongoing and open dialogue between the company’s management and employee representatives through co-determination bodies, and employees are kept informed of both the Group’s situation and that of their particular company.
Company management and personnel engage in open discussion also in those countries where there are no formal co-determination bodies as such. Regular briefings for personnel are an integral part of the operating procedures of Wärtsilä companies. Employee participation in decision-making also extends to occupational health and safety (OHS). Most Wärtsilä units have an OHS committee with representatives from all personnel groups.
In addition to Wärtsilä’s procedures for consulting and informing employees at the local level, the European Works Council (EWC) handles issues that affect the whole Group. The EWC and its working committee play an active role in considering and pursuing corporate level issues.
