Employees build the brand

Skanska’s success and value are entirely dependent on the performance of its employees. In the thousands of projects that Skanska develops around the world, the quality and the knowledge of its employees materialize into value added for Clients and shareholders, enhancing the Skanska brand.
The Company’s profitability is determined by the characteristics of every single project. Each of them is unique: Client’s demands and wishes vary, along with design, materials and local conditions. The management of our employees towards the satisfaction and benefit of each Client is, therefore, unique too, and, thus, crucial for Skanska’s success.
Skanska’s project management teams are responsible for the implementing construction projects and they stand as the Company’s visible face to the Client.

Developing good managers

Attracting, developing and retaining good managers and developing employees’s leadership skills are top priorities for Skanska. One of the purposes of the evaluation process of Company managers is to identify their performance quality, in order to leverage their abilities. Another objective is to identify candidates for senior positions and ensure that these individuals receive adequate development opportunities, thereby safeguarding the replacement of future high-level managers.
In today’s fast-paced world, the demands on organizations rapidly change. This evaluation model enables the Company to make quick adjustments to take better advantage of market potential.

Management Programs

Skanska develops regional management programs. Their focus is to ensure a better understanding of managers’ responsibilities and of working methodologies in their roles.
Other objectives for such programs are the construction of a network among the people from different countries and the broadening of knowledge of Skanska’s global strategy.
