SocialProtecting health and promoting talent.
We offer our employees a secure, equal-opportunity and future-orientated working environment.
Whether digitalisation or globalisation: the constant changes in the world of work require a modern and future-oriented corporate culture.
We care for you. In line with this motto, PORR continuously implements measures to promote the well-being and health of all employees. People are at the centre of everything we do.
Health & Safety
We offer our employees a safe and healthy working environment.
Training & further education
We promote the potential of our employees with individual training and further education opportunities.
Human rights
Our commitment to the protection of human rights is a matter of course for us.
Diversity & equal opportunities
We utilise the diversity of our employees and are actively committed to equal treatment.
Health and safety are our top priority.Occupational safety with a long-term goal: zero accidents.
When it comes to health and safety, we at PORR think a decisive step ahead: "Safety First" is merely the foundation on which further measures are based. After all, the physical and mental well-being of PORRians is the basic prerequisite for our success.
Vision Zero" aims to reduce the frequency of accidents at PORR to less than ten accidents per million hours worked. This is to be achieved through regular inspections, training and a reporting system for near-accidents and dangerous situations.
We have set out our health and safety agreements and principles both in safety guidelines and in the Code of Conduct. Every PORRian undertakes to comply with our quality and safety guidelines from day one. Quarterly focus topics ensure that the importance of occupational safety is permanently anchored in our minds. For example, the "Safety Walk" - a safety check carried out by our management during construction site visits - has established itself as a suitable tool for accident prevention.
The last-minute risk analysis card serves to raise awareness throughout the Group and strengthen personal responsibility as well as the perception of hazards in the workplace. In future, PORR will increasingly digitalise safety inspections as well as precautionary measures on construction sites.
Prevention instead of reaction: occupational safety by PORR.
Workplace health promotion at PORR.
The health and safety of our commercial employees is important to us. This includes interactive health training on the construction site as well as first aid training.
In addition to comprehensive training and safety improvements on construction sites, we also promote health protection in the office. PORR offers its employees occupational health screenings to ensure that working with computer screens does not become a burden. The examination assesses the employee's eyesight, provides information about any glasses that may be required and clarifies health issues relating to VDU work. The internal information portal also offers eye and back exercises for relaxation in between.
In addition, all employees can take advantage of discounted gym memberships as well as internal workshops on resilience and time management - for a healthy work-life balance.
Training & further education.
Our employees secure PORR's corporate success. We focus on sustainable personnel development and promote individual strengths and competences.
The expertise of our employees represents a decisive competitive advantage over our competitors. And to ensure that they are not only among the best in their field today, but also in the future, PORR offers a wide range of further qualifications. We support our employees in their professional and personal development.
The Buddy System, which has been successful for many years, enables a quick start. An experienced member of staff accompanies new colleagues during their first weeks at PORR and helps them to quickly orientate themselves and integrate into their working environment.
PORR Academy A digital training platform with a comprehensive offering.
The Group-wide PORR Academy encompasses all of PORR's training and further education programmes. The training programmes range from the basics of communication and intercultural training to aspects of occupational safety and legal topics. Digital media such as webinars, e-learning etc. are increasingly being used alongside face-to-face events. Training courses on digitalisation, personal development and special topics such as "empowerment for women" are very popular.
How we recognise and promote talent right from the recruitment stage.
The identification and promotion of individual strengths begins as early as the personnel selection process. Numerous personnel marketing measures give potential employees an initial insight into the world of PORR. These range from construction site visits for students, to the possibility of internships and working student activities as part of their studies, through to joining PORR as part of a bachelor's or master's thesis. We support and promote talent right from the start of their career path.
Human rights & employment.
PORR is a signatory to the UN Global Compact, the world's largest initiative for sustainable business. It is thus actively committed to the Group-wide implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as all fundamental rights laid down in the Human Rights Charter .
PORR is committed to fair pay based on the principle of equal treatment regardless of gender, attaches great importance to non-discrimination, does not tolerate child or forced labour on its construction sites as well as within its sphere of influence and guarantees its employees freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining. We also pay attention to fair labour practices and the protection of human rights in the supply chain. The Group-wide Code of Conduct for employees and business partners, as well as our compliance management system, contribute to achieving these goals.
The policy statement on the human rights strategy supplements the PORR Code of Conduct for PORR employees as well as for our business partners. This is the basis and benchmark for all guidelines and regulations that ensure legally compliant, responsible and ethically impeccable behaviour within the company.
Diversity & equal opportunities.
With around 20,000 employees from over 80 nations, diversity is a key success factor at PORR. We want everyone to have the same opportunities for professional fulfilment - regardless of gender, age, origin, sexual orientation or disability. With the signing of theWomen's Empowerment Principles (WEP)of the United Nations, we are actively committed to empowering women in the company.
Utilising diversity - the We@PORR diversity initiative.
We have launched the We@PORR initiative to integrate diversity into our corporate culture in the long term.
With communication campaigns, role models, lectures, network meetings, women's training and mentoring programmes, we support the exchange of experiences as well as raising awareness of issues relevant to women.
The "proud@PORR" campaign presents attractive professional fields and career opportunities for women.
Anti-harassment and anti-discrimination
PORR strives to offer all employees an appreciative, friendly and open environment that gives them the opportunity and security to pursue their work with passion.
Anti-discrimination, transparency, protection and the well-being of all employees are therefore top priorities at PORR. Suspected incidents and actual incidents can be reported by anyone via an anti-harassment and anti-discrimination reporting system using anonymous two-way communication: https://ahd.porr.at/
