GoalYear-over-year improvement in culture survey participation and engagement score

Solenis brings together a range of perspectives in a safe and collaborative workplace that empowers our employees to solve the world’s most challenging process and sustainability challenges.   We nurture a culture centered on fundamental beliefs about the value and inclusion of people – all people – and we promote learning, growth and well-being for all our employees.  Employee engagement and fostering a committed, high-performing team of employees are fundamental to our culture and are measured through the Solenis Annual Culture Survey. This anonymous survey is offered in 17 languages, and all full-time employees are encouraged to participate.  Once the culture survey results are in, the real work begins. At Solenis, a critical part of our sustained improvement in our culture and employee experience is our Culture Action Planning process. This process is driven by each and every people manager. Every manager meets with their team, listens to their ideas about opportunities to improve their team culture, and submits a specific action plan that will impact the employee experience. All managers are trained to ensure consistent conversations and follow-up.

Learning and Development

GoalAll employees – 5% investment in training

Building a culture of learning is not only essential for individual growth but also instrumental in driving organizational success. By investing in learning and development, our people become more proficient in their current roles and are better positioned for advancement. The company is also better equipped to deliver innovative solutions, drive customer satisfaction, and attract top talent.   Central to our approach is empowering each employee to dedicate 5% of their time, approximately two hours per week, to learning and development endeavors. By accessing our broad array of learning offerings that range from traditional coursework, self-guided study, mentorship opportunities, and innovative learning platforms, 94% of our employees successfully achieved their 5% annual learning goal.  Our learning tracks are focused on four areas:   <ul> <li>Professional growth: Professional development goals are included in the annual objectives of all our employees. These are based on the skills critical for their role, and on designated leadership competencies.</li> <li>Leadership growth: Our cohort-based programs create a supportive environment where employees learn to lead a team toward high performance. We offer programs for aspiring managers, new managers, experienced managers and executives.</li> <li>Sales growth: Our sales and value delivery approach ensures that all sales professionals have the right tools and a consistent and guided method for working with and delivering value to customers. </li> <li>Technical growth: The deeper our team’s technical expertise, the greater their ability to solve our customers’ toughest challenges. Our award-winning skill development program empowers people to create a technical skills gap analysis and design a targeted training plan that helps them succeed. </li> </ul>
