RUSAL has always been strongly committed to promoting the wellbeing of its employees, providing them with social benefits and competitive rewards. Between 2011 and 2013, RUSAL
plans to allocate some US$600 million to bettering the living conditions of its employees.
In 2011, the social package for RUSAL’s employees has been considerably enhanced compared
to the recession period. The company has increased meals allowances, launched a housing
programme, raised the sum of additional payments to retirees and veterans and restarted the
temporarily suspended programmes of compulsory health insurance and corporate summer camp
for the children of the company’s employees. In 2011 RUSAL also plans to start the construction
of kindergartens for staff’s children.
RUSAL’s ongoing social support programmes:
RUSAL places a strong focus on supporting and motivating employees, who work at the
company’s production sites. One of RUSAL’s major HR projects is aimed at increasing the
average monthly salary for the most highly skilled workers to 60,000 rubles.
RUSAL helps its employees, who work at the company’s facilities across Russia, to buy
real property. An agreement between RUSAL and Russia’s Sberbank enables the company’s
employees to receive mortgage loans at reduced rates. Following the property acquisition,
RUSAL covers the down payment and a substantial part of the monthly payments. An employee
is responsible for covering no more than 50% of the monthly payment – the rest is paid by
RUSAL.
How the programme works:
The children’s summer camp Solnechny-2 (‘Sunshiny’), located in a beautiful pine forest on
the riverside in Minusinsk region near Krasnoyarsk, was restarted in the summer of 2011. The
camp is open for the children of RUSAL’s employees. The travel and accommodation costs are
covered by the company.
