Onboarding and adaptation process

Each new employee at FFiL Śnieżka SA and Śnieżka ToC undergoes an onboarding process during the first two weeks. During this period, they learn how the company operates, receive equipment and tools necessary for their positions. They also undergo initial training and meetings with their superior, with whom they develop an Individual Adaptation Plan, specifying mutual expectations in the initial period - from employment to the third or sixth month. The aim of the adaptation process is effective implementation at the workplace and familiarization with the organizational culture. In 2023, 56 employees participated in the onboarding and adaptation process - 34 at FFiL Śnieżka SA and 22 at Śnieżka ToC.

The Group ensures that all employees participate in mandatory training – provided for by regulations and necessary to hold a given position. In addition to mandatory training, employees can also benefit from voluntary training that develops professional competences:

  • The Group offers English classes. The implemented Regulations for the co-financing program and organization of the English language course describe the principles of co-financing and the requirements set by the Group regarding the organization, appropriate form and effectiveness of the course. Courses are held in classes in groups or individually online.
  • In 2023, the first edition of the Śnieżka Academy internal trainer program was organized. The program takes advantage of the experts’ competences taken on within the Group, who have the opportunity to share their knowledge with other employees. In the first edition, eight trainers were selected who conducted training in thematic areas that were important from the company’s perspective and developing from the employees’ point of view. The program was attended by 180 Śnieżka ToC employees who participated in 948 hours of training and 174 employees of FFiL Śnieżka SA who participated in 866 hours of training. The training included: public speech, making presentations, the process of concluding and terminating contracts, visualization and data analysis.
  • In 2023, a pilot competence volunteering program was developed and prepared to be implemented in 2024. According to its assumptions, internal experts conducting training within the Śnieżka Academy will have the opportunity to share their specialist knowledge with students of local schools. Recommendations regarding selected schools and age groups to which the training will be addressed, will be developed by the Śnieżka Foundation team, which is competent in running local educational programs.
  • FFiL Śnieżka SA and Śnieżka ToC also arranged first aid training, which was attended by 359 employees.
