DIVERSITY AND EQUALITY

From the diversity aspect, Ruukki’s personnel structure highlights the culture of masculinity and the age structure in the industry. At some sites, the age structure is weighted towards the older age groups. Equality and equal opportunities are important principles in human resources policy. Where necessary, these are supported by special measures directed towards different target groups.

The personnel age structure diagram on the shows a rather balanced structure of employees of different ages. Employment relationships in the company are long and, especially at production sites, there are many employees who have spent their entire career working for Ruukki. Nevertheless, the younger generation (aged 21-30 years) makes up a fairly large share of the personnel.

Recent years have seen Ruukki recruit young trainees and specialists through various trainee programmes and as a continuation of commendable thesis work done for Ruukki. At the works sites in Raahe and Hämeenlinna, young experts are trained at Ruukki Industrial Institute.
