In order to achieve these objectives, we aim to:

• Pay above-average packages for good performance and monitor the remuneration structure in each relevant market so that we dont fall behind;
• Accommodate individual preferences for work assignments and schedules as far as possible;
• Support an open-door policy. Where employees feel they have difficulty in discussing concerns with their seniors, they have direct access to any Partner, Member of the Human Resources Committee or the Human Resources Manager and ultimately the Managing Director.
