Based on the results of the employee survey, every business area has
draed action plans, although they handle their improvement needs
dierently depending on where they are at this point. Clear, measur-
able goals are set at both an overarching and more detailed level.
Based on the results of the  survey, Saab will focus primarily
on three areas: an open, trusting climate, openness to change, and
pride and condence in the future. It is also important employees
understand their role in the big picture. e response rate to the sur-
vey was  per cent.
Right employees – Attractive employer
Saab wants to be an employer of choice for current and future
employees. We want to attract current and future employees in the
global talent market. In addition, we have to retain our employees
and help them to develop.
During the year, we continued to improve long-term talent man-
agement, especially in terms of diversity. By treating dierences as an
asset, we create opportunities for better business. e / project,
whose goal is to increase the number of female managers, continued
with a number of activities. In , women accounted for  per
cent of managers in the organisation. Among wage-setting manag-
ers, they represent  per cent (). e goal is that  per cent of our
wage-setting managers will be female by the end of . e reason
for this goal is that we understand that diversity among employees
can benet the company’s protability.
At the same time, we were named Sweden’s best workplace during
the year by the business weekly “Veckans Aärer,” where gender
equality was the decisive factor. In the  Corporate Barometer,
where nearly , engineers, economists and computer science/IT
students ranked Sweden’s most popular employer’s, Saab nished in
tenth place. Although we consider this a good ranking, our goal is to
place among the top ve.
