Group Human Resources has big and exciting news: A new global Human Resources Information System (HRIS) called Workday will be rolled out within NKG. Workday is a state-of-the-art HRIS, that offers great benefits for each individual employee, promises to simplify our HR processes, and increase efficiency and data security at NKG. It will be the first time in the history of NKG that all companies and employees worldwide use the same HRIS. What an exciting step for all of us together!

Last year, we published our Sustainability Report in a completely new structure, format and design. Launched in 2020, our Responsible Business Program served as a basis for the definition of (most) KPIs and the (following) data collection. This year, there will be an internal report focusing on data rather than design and a shortened external version. So, while we are waiting for the next report, Melissa Chavana, Camila Engel and Nicole Ochojski, who are responsible for the data collection, will give you a little glimpse behind the scenes on how the first reporting process with the new software WeSustain went last year, what they are working on right now and what you can expect to come up next.

It is quite easy to write about synergies, group feelings and close relationships – to really live this group identity and strengthen a feeling of belonging and connection is something incredibly more difficult. We at NG Comms are aware of this discrepancy between talking and writing about something and actually living it. Thus, communicating with all of you is one of our top priorities, especially through publications like our Connected.
