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.

In 2024, Demant set a target to take employee engagement to the top-third level by 2030, which corresponds to the 67th percentile or above in the Gallup engagement index. In 2024, Demant received 11 submissions to its whistleblower hotline related to discrimination and/or harassment. These cases were handled internally according to the Whistleblower Policy and Investigation Guideline. Having been addressed by the relevant internal organisation in collaboration with the affected individuals, 8 out of 11 claims have been closed. There were no severe human rights incidents in the period, and therefore no fines, penalties or compensation were paid.
