We rely on our staff to deliver the 'We try harder.' promise.
We can only achieve this if they are highly motivated and enjoy
working for Avis.
We operate in many countries with diverse employment
practices. Whilst respecting local circumstances, wherever we
operate we follow the principles of non-discrimination in
recruitment, development, remuneration and advancement. All our
employees must follow the highest standards of honesty, integrity
and fairness, wherever they work. The Company gives proper
consideration to applications for employment when these are
received from disabled people and employs disabled people whenever
suitable vacancies arise. Should an employee become disabled when
working for the Company, efforts are made to continue their
employment and retraining is provided if necessary.
In 2007 we have focussed on raising awareness of governance
issues such as health and safety, competition compliance and
acceptable codes of conduct.
Employees are kept well informed of the performance and
objectives of the Group through personal briefings and email and
the Company's open management style encourages employees to
contribute to the development of the business.
Each year we survey our staff and in 2007 the survey covered
our five major corporate countries, as well as our international
headquarters and support centres in Barcelona and Budapest.
Following the impact of the previous year's significant structural
and management changes, reflecting some slightly lower satisfaction
results, we are pleased to report a significant improvement in
overall employee satisfaction for 2007.
