EMPLOYEES
MAT GROUP’s employees are our most important stakeholders. The necessary standards and procedures are identified, and measures are taken, in order to ensure that MAT GROUP employees benefit from a safe and peaceful working environment.
Equality of opportunity is observed in all human resources activities including hiring, training and development, promotion and pay. We oppose all forms of discrimination, including those based on race, religion, language, skin color, sex, and sexual orientation.
The MAT GROUP Code of Business Conduct states the points that all employees should bear in mind in order to work harmoniously, respectful of one another and of human rights.
RESPECTING HUMAN RIGHTS
Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity and inclusion are embedded in our core value of teamwork. Our workforce comprises skilled professionals and craft personnel from around the world who are dedicated to achieving excellence for all of our stakeholders. MAT GROUP’s aim is to sustain its diverse workforce by leveraging each individual’s knowledge and talents while promoting cross-cultural understanding and collaboration.
To this end, you are expected to demonstrate dignity and respect for all MAT GROUP employees by valuing the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and ideas present among your colleagues and in the locations where our company operates. You must also promote an inclusive work environment by practicing appropriate and fair behaviors towards all MAT GROUP employees, clients, and individuals in our communities.
Fair Employment Practices
MAT GROUP has established global standards so that our employees are treated with respect and fairness and free from all forms of discrimination regardless of location. All employment decisions such as hiring, promotion, pay, termination, training opportunities and job assignments must be based on merit, not a person’s legally protected characteristics. Such characteristics may include gender, race, color, religion, national origin, marital status, age, disability, pregnancy, veteran status, sexual orientation and other characteristics protected by law.
MAT GROUP respects the human rights set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and abides by the conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO).
Harassment-Free Workplace
Harassment has no place at MAT GROUP and will not be tolerated. Our employees should work in a safe and professional atmosphere, where merit and competence are rewarded, and diversity and trust are promoted. Harassment can take many forms, including verbal remarks, physical advances or visual displays. It may come from co-workers, supervisors, suppliers, contractors or clients. The legal definition of harassment may vary by location, but the behavior always has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, offensive or demeaning environment.
No Child or Forced Labour or Human Trafficking
Our belief that all individuals should be treated with dignity and respect is firmly rooted in our core value of integrity. MAT GROUP is committed to fostering an environment that recognizes and supports all aspects and dimensions of human rights set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. MAT GROUP does not tolerate the use of child or forced labor, trafficking in persons, or procurement of commercial sex acts. You must work to ensure that MAT GROUP does not have suppliers, contractors or other business partners who do so.
EMPLOYEE LOYALTY
MAT GROUP carries out work on employee loyalty and satisfaction in order to increase employee satisfaction at MAT GROUP Headquarters and in all its operations, to receive feedback and views from employees and to ensure that employees take a more active position in decision-making mechanisms.
Actions based on the outcome of the Employee Loyalty and Satisfaction Survey are carried out under the leadership of the Corporate Integrity and Human Resources Departments. There are also plans to establish an Employee Loyalty Committee that includes employees’ representatives among its members.
