PROUD EMPLOYEES
Sweden is Saab’s largest market with 42 per cent
of sales. e company has just over 14,685 employees
with more than 60 nationalities in 35 countries.
Saab has a low turnover and its employees are very
satised; 82 per cent of survey respondents said
they are proud to work at Saab and feel pride in
Saab’s technology and wide oering. One reason
cited in the survey why they like their jobs is a posi-
tive work-life balance.
PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN CULTURE
A performance-driven culture with a focus on what
is achieved and how it is done is critical to success in
global competition. Every employee has an Individual
Performance Management plan. Working together
with their manager, they identify individual goals
tied to Saab’s business goals. It is essential that every
employee understands how their work contributes
to the company’s overarching objectives, and that
with great personal responsibility comes
the opportunity to inuence their development.
An important part of the performance-driven
culture is ethical behaviour, where every employee
understands their responsibilities. e key units that
are aected receive training in responsible business,
and in 2015 an updated version of Saab’s code of
conduct was launched along with an improved
whistleblower system to better support employees.
Employee Boost
As part of a continuous eort to encourage employee
engagement and motivation, a Group-wide initiative
called “Employee Boost” was launched in 2015. e
aim is to give employees a better understanding of
the challenges Saab is facing, how each employee’s
performance aects Saab’s future, and their role in
achieving Saab’s goals. e initiative, which consists
of a combination of group work, discussions and
performance-based results, focuses on four parts:
a performance-driven culture, business under-
standing, internationalisation, and engaged,
motivated employees.

PEOPLE
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Health and well-being are important to Saab and its
employees. Saab improves work environments in
various ways, including through clear policies and
guidelines, a work-life balance, support for local
sporting activities and by giving employees access
to exercise and wellness options.
Saab received a high rating in the 2015 employee
survey on whether it encourages health and well-
being. A global occupational health process is being
established and will be fully implemented in 2020.
Saab comprises various businesses
in many countries, which creates
major development opportunities
within the Group.
