Career development
Swedish Match aims to develop and retain the competent personnel we employ. Our employees must be able to develop and grow professionally through new or varied work assignments and areas of responsibility.
Their work results and interests determine how they develop and move forward in their careers. As a global player, we also strive to create a work environment that stimulates the exchange of information throughout the organization.
The professional development of all employees is based on individual development plans. In accordance with the objectives of the business activities, the supervisors and employees work jointly to establish personal goals for each employee’s development, both in the short and long-term perspective.
The success of each employee’s individual plan is contingent on the assumption of personal responsibility for his/her development. We expect each employee to show a desire, initiative and willingness to assume responsibility for his/her own further development and, in turn, to contribute to the business progress of Swedish Match’s operations.
Our employees do not have to change their workplaces to develop or change the direction of their career paths. Internal recruitment is a natural part of our corporate culture. It is normal for employees to work with several different assignments during their careers, and to serve in several different locations within the organization, nationally and internationally. It is not uncommon that some of the vacant senior-level positions that arise are filled through internal recruiting.
