Vestas employees are encouraged to complete an online Employee Engagement Survey (EES) on an annual basis. This is Vestas’ standard channel globally for receiving feedback on a range of topics, allowing us to externally benchmark and track progress over time. The survey is available to all employees and to certain non-employees (working in specified areas). The survey is anonymous, and the survey is offered in 20 languages to ensure accessibility and that all voices are heard equally across our workforce. The survey is led by our People and Culture (P&C) function and owned by the Executive Vice President of People & Culture (CPCO). Effectiveness of the engagement is primarily assessed by monitoring survey results, paying particular attention to low scores, and by collecting feedback on the process and monitoring the participation rate. In 2024, the participation rate was 90 percent (2023: 89 percent), and the Employee Net Promoter Score was 31 (2023: 19). We see a clear connection between decreasing turnover and engagement and this is also reflected in our data points. Furthermore, Vestas has focused on inclusive leadership and psychological safety in our learning series, which has also showed positive trending in a number of metrics across the EES.
