Our People
At Scapa we are proud of the broad spectrum of experience, talent and skills that comes from our global workforce and understand that developing and managing our talent is essential in achieving our plans for growth.
Providing managers with effective tools to help drive value creation within their teams is essential in developing our employees as our competitive advantage.
Managers and individuals are encouraged to recognise and reward employees for their achievements through several recognition tools. We continually invest in our talent management programme with the aim of future-proofing the organisation by developing our people, defining our future talent requirements and identifying and preparing those with leadership potential for succession roles.
The Scapa Way
We continue to drive an entrepreneurial culture across our business through 'The Scapa Way', our global programme that sets the guidelines to create a work environment where people can take ownership for their work and create value for our stakeholders in a principled way.
We achieve this by ensuring everyone in Scapa shares our vision of value creation, by building the right team with the virtues and talents required to deliver for our stakeholders, by having the right knowledge that will allow us to understand and seek success, empowering people by having the appropriate decision rights, and by incentivising people through financial and non-financial means.
We understand the value of recognition and that is why we continue to drive the 'Living our Guiding Principles' recognition scheme throughout the business. This programme encourages all employees to recognise peers and teams for demonstrating behaviours aligned to 'The Scapa Way'.
