Annual Report Gorenje Group 2009

Report on corporate social responsibility
EMPLOYEES
At Gorenje, our belief in the significance of employees for the success and development of the
Company strengthened in the past year when, despite the sharp decline in the volume of orders, we
managed to do a great deal to guarantee social security and the preservation of jobs. We are well
aware what the preservation of jobs means for social security and the quality of life of employees and
their families. Moreover, we have assessed that the situation in our key markets will soon improve.
When it does, it will be necessary to quickly respond by increasing the production volume, and the
demands regarding quality and responsiveness to customer needs will be even more rigorous than in
the past. Those employees who have adequate knowledge, experience, are motivated, and see
opportunities for personal and career development in the Gorenje Group will then represent an
important competitive advantage against certain other companies in the branch which had aggressively
begun to dismiss workers.
