Interesting jobThere are hundreds of different professions at Neste Oil: researchers, operators, seamen, firemen, financial experts, sales experts and project managers - but at Neste Oil, all of these positions have something to do with cleaner fuels and our forerunner position in their development and production. At its best, this offers the job another meaning besides just its salary. We offer many opportunities to experience variety and learn new things on the job. Our attitude of 'only the best is good enough' challenges us to question our current practices. Project-oriented work extending beyond unit limits encourages us to learn from each other. The opportunities for job rotation and creating a versatile career encourage people to be curious about everything new. |
The significance of salaryAn appropriate and encouraging salary scheme is an essential part of an equal, open and fair working community. We pay our employees based on the demanding nature of their tasks, and most of us are included in the scope of an incentive scheme which is based on performance and results. Observance of collective agreements, annual revisions of salaries and equal salaries are self-evident to us. Our versatile employee benefits (such as healthcare, well-being, recreation and leisure benefits) are available for all employees, regardless of their position. The salary must seem good and proper both for the recipient and for the payer but the paycheck should not be the most important reason for working. |
Long-term employment relationshipsThe employees of Neste Oil include people of all types and ages - top teams always value diversity - but we still have much in common: we value our tradition of doing things right. This is why very few employees ever leave the company. As a large company, we can offer changing positions in different parts of the company and we are able to take into account the different life situations and needs of our employees. We are also a secure employer - the average employee of Neste Oil has been with the company for fifteen years, and our staff turnover rate is as low as two per cent. |
Individual developmentWe believe that each person is his or her best manager as long as he/she is offered the opportunities and support required. This is why each employee of Neste Oil is responsible for his or her own performance, development and career. But not alone, though: the supervisors are there to assist and support the good performance of their team members. Each of us draws up an annual development plan with the supervisor. The plan includes short-term development objectives and future career goals. Our development means include, for example, job rotation, working abroad, taking on responsibility for projects, networking, mentoring and coaching. Development and interest are also supported by a variety of training programs and coaching activities offered by us and our partners. |
Job rotationWhen a single company includes production units, an engineering office, an R&D unit, a shipping unit, global sales, retail sales and administrative positions - and also practices encouraging training, experiments and development - there are excellent opportunities for versatile and varying job rotation. At Neste Oil, we encourage people to utilize the opportunities offered to them. For example, we always advertise an open position first inside the company. It is important for us that our employees broaden their expertise and get to know the business of other units as well. This guarantees better cooperation between people and units, and better flow of ideas. |
