Additionally, we established an internal framework for mentoring, providing employees with access to a formal Mentoring program.
At Wärtsilä, coaching and mentoring bring multiple benefits to our employees, including unlocking potential, fostering collaboration and career development, enabling knowledge transfer, supporting leadership development, and expanding professional networks.
Wärtsilä provides a wide variety of employee benefits tailored to specific countries and cultures. While some benefits are statutory, mandated by local legislation, others are supplementary, allowing the company to determine the benefits provided. We aim to provide benefits that are relevant and meaningful to employees in each country. Additionally, certain benefits may be assigned based on job requirements or type of work.
Examples of the employee benefits we may offer include pension plans, insurance coverage, well-being and sports programs, medical benefits, supplementary vacation days, work-related equipment, transportation assistance, and flexible working arrangements. By prioritizing these benefits, we ensure that our employees have the necessary support and resources to thrive both personally and professionally.
