TMK ranked among industry’s top 5 employers by Randstad and ANCOR

Based on its 2020 performance, TMK was ranked among the best employers in Russia by Randstad and ANCOR. According to a survey of 13 thousand Russian citizens, the Company joined the top 5 employers in the metals industry.

The survey respondents noted good pay, financial stability, career development, a pleasant working environment and job satisfaction among the most important considerations. TMK has incorporated these criteria in its HR policy and seeks to create a comfortable environment for each employee, driving motivation and continuous skill improvement.

Future employees get to know the Company while they are still students. TMK runs career guidance projects in its host cities and engages with schools, tertiary and secondary vocational institutions to help schoolchildren make an informed choice and prepare students for work at its facilities. The Company also helps employees on their career paths, strengthens their skills through programs at TMK2U Corporate University, and stimulates their development through the management talent pool program.

The Company also supports employee initiatives to maximize their potential. As part of the Horizons International Corporate Forum, TMK and Sinara Group hold the Youth Scientific and Technical Conference where representatives of the Company’s enterprises and research centers propose innovative ideas and projects for implementation at the holding company level. The economic benefit from such innovations has already exceeded RUB 1 billion. At the 2020 forum, employees presented about 130 projects on new products, product quality improvement, operations efficiency and automation, including RPA.

To drive innovation among employees, TMK uses modern IT solutions, including software robots. Digital technology enables the automation of routine tasks while freeing up time for employees to expand their own expertise and implement ambitious projects.

“Human resources are the Company’s core and most valuable asset. TMK continuously rolls out best practice in HR management, improves working conditions at its facilities and invests in social support for employees. Great attention is paid to creating opportunities for professional development and career growth of employees, including through the extensive use of tools offered by TMK2U Corporate University. Thus we can align the professional goals of our employees and the business and use this synergy to drive the achievement of long-term strategic tasks,” said Elena Pozolotina, Deputy CEO for Human Resources – Director of TMK2U Corporate University.

The Randstad Employer Brand Research survey is conducted annually by Kantar, an independent research group, for Randstad and ANCOR. The respondents answer questions about the process of choosing, changing or looking for a job, and about the reasons a candidate chooses one employer over another.
