Alstom China wins Top Employer 2023 certification for its excellent workplace culture

Employee first: Foster a team of healthy and active employees

Alstom China strives to build and maintain a healthy, engaged workforce as well as prioritise ensuring every employee's safety and well-being. Through the implementation of Alstom's zero violation policy, the organisation of events like Health and Happiness Day, Fire Prevention Month, Safety Month and Environmental Day, and the promotion of initiatives like leadership-led inspections combined with safety campaigns, all enable Alstom to pursue the goal of "zero serious accidents" in daily work and foster a corporate health and safety culture to ensure the safety and health of employees while improving their wellbeing. Over 86% of Chinese employees, who participated in the recently completed 2022 employee survey, expressed pride in their employment with Alstom. The Alstom China EHS team actively coordinates materials, conducts routine health psychological consultations, promptly confirms the physical and mental health status of employees, and works to give staff members warm and reliable care and protection as we fight against the epidemic.

Diversity & Inclusiveness: Provide all-round help for talents to pursue work ideals

Building talent at Alstom China requires a corporate environment that is both diverse and inclusive. Alstom China makes an effort to give employees of different genders equal opportunities whenever possible. Women make up 29% of all employees in Alstom China in 2022, and 36% of female white-collar workers, which is also a high level in the Group globally. This proportion of female employees is rising at different levels and in diverse positions. It can be said that more female employees will be able to benefit from the 2022 China Women's Club or also experience personal growth and care as a result of its establishment.

At the same time, Alstom actively promotes and assists every employee's personal growth in China. By launching a digital career platform, together with other means, Alstom helps employees better understand their roles, company needs, future career goals, improve their experience and find ways to achieve career development. By establishing the China Development & Growth Forum, Alstom encourages sharing and fosters an environment of organisational growth. Also, by enhancing the internal corporate university training programmes, Alstom guides employees to design and implement clear development plans. Furthermore, Alstom China strengthens its connection with the local talent market through localised social media platforms such as the WeChat recruitment platform, Boss and Liepin, which continue to work towards attracting new talents to join Alstom to inject fresh energy into the team.

In the future, Alstom will continue to improve diversity and inclusiveness in China, with the goal of making the more than 10,000 employees in China feel like they are part of the "One Alstom" team, and working together not only to maintain a good workplace environment, but also to create a sustainable new future for Alstom China.
