ESS-FOOD is a workplace for “traders with big dreams”
We want our new employees to succeed, and therefore we want to give all new employees the best possible start in our organisation. In short, we want you to feel that you belong, make a difference and create value for the business as a whole, as soon as possible.
We will help you along the way, but we need your help as well. As a new employee, you have an important responsibility both in connection to your first period in ESS-FOOD, but also for your future career here with us.
We expect that you actively contribute to your own onboarding, just as we hope you will be curious, open and investigative to your own continued development.
Onboarding – takes time and requires open dialogue
We look forward to you starting in ESS-FOOD, and you can expect us to have a plan ready for you. The following is both a guide for you and your future manager, so both of you are aware of what elements you should go through as a new employee in ESS-FOOD. In order to succeed the best possible way with your onboarding, we must promise each other ongoing dialogue and openness about your needs, so we together can create the best possible conditions for your first period. You know your worth. So do we. Therefore, we trust that when you proceed your own goals, you are helping to achieve ours at the same time.
The image below is an example of what your onboarding journey might look like.
All eyes and ears on you – when you need it
1:1
Dialogue with manager
PDP
Performance & Development Plan
CHECK
Engagement survey
We care about your development as much as you do.
Your feedback, openness and honesty are important to us, because you know best, how we support you and your needs in the best possible way. On the short term, we encourage our managers to have an ongoing 1:1 dialogue about your well-being, current work tasks, and possible challenges and priorities. Feel free to make demands to your manager and use the dialogue for continuous alignment of expectations.
Your and our business’ development in the long run is important as well. As a company, ESS-FOOD is constantly evolving, and we are constantly met by new expectations and demands from our customers, suppliers and consumers as well as stakeholders and governmental authorities. If we are going to succeed regarding these demands and our ambitious strategy, we must all – managers as well as employees – know our role in achieving the strategic ambitions.
What results should I deliver and how do these results relate to my own development and learning? To ensure this, you and your immediate manager have a PDP (Performance & Development Plan) conversation every year, with the purpose of supporting you and your manager in aligning expectations, setting clear goals and giving each other feedback.
Every second year, ESS-FOOD conducts an engagement survey “CHECK”. The survey is used as a communication tool, and it must contribute to all employees being motivated and committed to their work. Together with your manager, you will find work areas that need an extra focus in order to create a great workplace for you and your colleagues – and we do this through feedback and good dialogue between employees and managers. As mentioned, ESS-FOOD is a place for “traders with big dreams” – and you are hereby invited to dream with us.
