Maintaining team motivation in a highly competitive market

Turnover Metrics - turnover % is calculated by dividing the number of employees who left during the year by the average headcount during the same period.

The figures are based on the average number of employees (average EE’s) during the year, segmented by geographical area, gender, and age group.

Turnover by region

Region Number of Leavers Average EE's  Turnover %

Comparing the turnover rate of 23% in 2024 to 26.9% in 2023, we’ve seen a significant reduction. This marks a positive outcome of our ongoing efforts to boost employee engagement and enhance retention.

While turnover has decreased, the industry, as a whole, still faces high attrition rates. Factors such as the nature of shift work, the global skills shortage, and intense competition for talent continue to play a significant role.

We are fully committed to addressing these challenges with targeted strategies, such as improving employee engagement, offering comprehensive training programs, and providing competitive compensation packages to strengthen retention and maintain a stable, motivated workforce.

The highest turnover rate is observed in the 18-30 years age group at 36%.

Turnover rates gradually decrease with age, reaching their lowest in the 41-50 and 51-60 years age groups, both at 16.4%.

Employees over 61 years old experience a turnover rate of 39%, primarily due to retirement. This trend is particularly evident in Portugal, where employees tend to have long tenures with the company.

Interestingly, the age group with the highest turnover also represents the highest hiring rate (46.8% of total hires), especially within Operations.

Every voice counts. Every concern is heard.


The Logoplaste SpeakUp Channel is a vital resource for our teams to raise concerns that may not be easily addressed through other means or in face-to-face conversations.

We actively promote this whistleblowing platform through our internal channels, emphasizing its role in supporting the well-being of our teams. The platform is accessible to everyone, in all countries and languages, through various communication methods (phone, email, website). All information shared is confidential, and the option to remain anonymous ensures that privacy is upheld.

The types of concerns reported range across various issues, including Discrimination, Employee Relations, Conflict of Interest, Workplace Violence/Threats, Policy Issues, and Substance Abuse.

This diversity underscores the importance of having a whistleblowing hotline to address different types of misconduct and to maintain a safe, ethical work environment.

 

In 2024, a total of 12 cases were reported across different categories. Although this represents a small fraction of our workforce (2,692 employees), each case was thoroughly investigated and resolved where applicable. We take whistleblower reports seriously and ensure that all concerns are addressed.
