Organisational culture of Orange Polska

Priorities of the culture change: what we do to be close, simple, bold and positive

We are building our organisational culture in an open dialogue with our employees, particularly through two global surveys (Organisational Health Survey and Your Employee Barometer), regular feedback and open meetings. We have defined four priority areas for our cultural change:

Innovation culture
Motivation & well-being
Effective collaboration
Development & mobility

In 2021, we once again (for the 11th time) received the Top Employer Polska, Top Employer Europe and Top Employer Global, as well as HR Best Quality certificates. They reflect our commitment to better working conditions and our focus on employee development, as well as implementation and constant enhancement of good human-capital practices.

Our idea is …

To build an innovative culture, meaning the whole organisational environment.  This will boost creativity, encourage people to take bold risks and prepare them to make mistakes – and learn from them.

Our initiatives:

  • Listening and Responding Clubs – a project encouraging employees to propose and implement improvements within the Company.
  • Wall of Ideas – an initiative to support innovation and collaboration among employees.
  • Inspirational webinars and development offers regarding creativity and innovations.
  • Hackathons.

Our idea is…

To build a culture of appreciation through transparent communication and common celebration of employees’ successes. And to support the well-being of employees and their involvement by providing them with the tools necessary to take care of their physical and mental condition.

Our initiatives:

  • Recognition (financial & non-financial).
  • Annual award galas (held by the CEO and heads of functions).
  • O!klaski (Applause!) – an application enabling employees to express their appreciation and thanks for co-operation, recognise daily successes.
  • Well-being webinars and dedicated programmes promoting a healthy lifestyle, e.g. Power Meetings, Akademia Lekkiej Głowy (Light Head Academy).
  • Initiatives to strengthen work-life balance and mental resilience.

Our idea is…

To make our everyday collaboration and communication more effective, direct, fast and simple in order to be an agile and innovative organisation.

Our initiatives:

  • Simplification of processes across the organisation.
  • Hybrid work model (two days in the office, three days at home). Implementation of agile ways of working.
  • Dynamic and effective meetings.
  • Feedback culture (360 Degree Feedback for all every two years; monthly Pulsometer – a team feedback survey focused on co-operation and achievement of goals).
  • Task management using modern tools (Jira, etc.).
  • #bezcukru (No sugar) – regular meetings of the Board Members with employees (every two weeks; more than 2,000 employees participate on average; online video streaming).

Our idea is…

To build a learning organisation by ensuring mutual development of employees, with a focus on the competences of the future boosted by professional schools, new development programmes, internal mobility and learning in communities.

Our initiatives:

  • Jump – programme of internal mobility.
  • Professional schools – Data & AI IT Academy.
  • Development tools – Orange Learning, Coursera, e-learning, webinars.
  • Time for development (outlook booking on Fridays).
  • Professional learning communities, i.e. Data Freaks, Leader in Action.
