Four values determine our behavior. They describe how we should act – responsibly, imaginatively, vigorously, and passionately – and also describe our skills, our potential, and our competitive advantage.
responsible
We always think and act in the interest of the company and the impact our actions may have on others. We take care of Swarovski as a whole and Swarovski cares about us – we walk the talk.
passionate
We strive for consumer and customer loyalty by continuously surprising and amazing them and create long-term relationships with our business partners.
imaginative
We are open minded and innovative in creating aesthetically unique product designs and solutions for our consumers and customers.
vigorous
We are dynamic and powerful. We leverage the strengths and benefits of our global organization. We empower colleagues to be effective and efficient, we work as a team across the organization to achieve our joint ambition of outstanding and profitable results, and we acknowledge and reward performance.
people awards
Every year, we hold the Swarovski Spirit Awards to celebrate employees’ achievements in delivering our vision, living our values and adding sparkle to people’s everyday lives. We also recognize employees’ achievements in key areas including leadership, business growth and innovation. Hundreds of nominees make it through to the annual shortlist, which is shared with the Executive Board, who are deciding on the winners.
In 2015, we received 500 nominations (2% of our employees) from every country and region, and recognized 15 employees with ‘Shooting star’ awards, presented by our Executive Board at a special ceremony in Austria.
swarovski employee survey
The Swarovski Employee Survey, conducted on a global scale, is yet another milestone toward our vision of becoming an attractive employer, as it measures levels of engagement and enablement across our organization.
The survey is a great way for our employees to share their views on what it is like working at Swarovski so the organization can understand what it is doing well and what can be improved. In October 2012, the first Swarovski Employee Survey was conducted globally, achieving an excellent response rate of 74%, the second survey run in October 2014 achieved an increase 80% participation rate.
