- As an employer, Bekaert aims to attract the most talented personnel in every market where we operate.
- Bekaert motivates its staff by recognizing, fairly and consistently, the success of professionals working effectively as a team.
- The opportunities we give individuals are based on a shared commitment to devote their talents to benefiting the business and to develop their own careers. In order to achieve these goals, we need to have in place the best HR processes and practices, and to have the commitment of every supervisor responsible for human resources to implementing those practices.

This HR strategy was developed in a continuous process which involved a lot of discussion with managers on how they understood the implementation of our business strategy. Following a final review of the strategy, it was endorsed by the Bekaert Group Executive and the Board of Directors. The most interesting part of developing this strategy was crystallizing those elements which were already part of our normal way of doing things, and which had already proved successful. At the same time, we created a solid platform on which to discuss with managers the way we should lead a global workforce against a background of continuous and major change. Last but not least, it helped us to show HR managers throughout our organization how to provide focused support to the various parts of the company.
Our strategy for the deployment of HR is built on:
-
Constant focus on serving our customers in every market
-
Awareness of our competitive advantage working with teams from very different cultural backgrounds
-
Making everyone accountable for results
-
Supporting the best talent as a means of expanding our business.
