Our people

Our strategy, performance, culture and reputation are fueled by our world-class workforce — the heart of our company and business success. We recognize that attracting and developing talent is a competitive imperative within our changing industry. At year‑end 2023, we had approximately 9,900 employees in 13 countries. Read more about our workforce metrics.

We depend on our workforce to successfully execute the company’s strategy and we recognize the importance of creating a workplace where our people feel valued. The Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and board of directors play key roles in setting our Human Capital Management (HCM) strategy and driving accountability for meaningful progress.

Our SPIRIT Values set the foundation for our HCM strategy and all HCM programs are built around three pillars that we believe are necessary for success: A compelling culture, attracting a world-class workforce and valuing our people. Key actions and progress against these pillars are described in more detail below.
