We support both managers and employees in pursuing relevant career opportunities that exist in the Group through different frameworks. Our Global Policy on Human Resources defines the minimum requirements that our employees are subject to regarding personal and professional development and growth and the company’s expectations of employees. The policy applies to all employees at Demant, including full-time and part-time employees, across all functions, business areas and locations.

Our global recruitment platform contains embedded materials designed to prompt inclusive recruitment behaviour. Furthermore, we have expanded training in unconscious bias, inclusive leadership and psychological safety, and we have developed the capabilities of our HR leaders to drive DE&I-related topics and training locally. To support this, DE&I-specific themes of relevance for our employee performance dialogue have been part of the global process for performance dialogue since the beginning of 2023. This provides input to assess the effectiveness of our actions on DE&I, which is also evaluated through our Pulse survey, as it has specific questions regarding inclusion and fair treatment.
