Five reasons to join Volvo Group

    Striking the right balance between well-being and motivation

    Volvo Group is made up of a palette of unique individuals, each with their own interests, motivations, and life stories. They are passionate about what they do, at work and outside work. Based on our value of trust and our belief that we are at our best when we can be our whole true self at work, we offer an environment where everyone can find a healthy work life balance that works for them.

    balance

    Everyone’s work life balance equation is different

    That is why we believe that in addition to company programs, a good communication and a trusting relationship with one’s manager is the base to find the right work life balance that accommodates all the needs of each individual. 
    Creating a healthy work culture starts with the basics – respecting people’s free time. This translates into behavioral agreements that some teams decide together to suit their needs and preferences in a highly connected world – for instance not sending out emails over the weekend.

    Flexible work arrangements come in many shapes

    Our benefits programs are many and very diverse across our different entities and hundreds of sites. Depending on where they work, our employees may benefit from flexible working hours, parental, study or sabbatical leave, paid time off on specific occasions, special training or support needed to complete a job. Our company policies on matters such as home working align to the needs of our business operations, the location of our premises or even the country legislation and always strive to optimize our employees’ time and reduce our footprint from commuting. 
     
    Services available on our campuses are also specific to each location. They include health, sport coaching or organic food markets in one place, child care or concierge office in another. Our flexible work arrangement aim to make the day to day routine of our employees easier so they can get more out of life.

    The promise that we should give to each other is that the main priority regardless of what we are doing, is putting everything we can do in focus to bring colleagues and partners in our operation home safely to their families and friends. Because that is being a great company.
    Employee safety

    Employee safety

    At Volvo Group, we never compromise on workplace safety and we always avoid any behavior that puts employee safety at risk. All our operations are governed by safety standards. We work with proven methods that strengthen our teams, in pursuit of a zero-accident rate. Everyone in our organization has the right and responsibility to raise issues that improve workplace safety – it is a key element of employee wellbeing.


    Our injury rate statistics are generally falling. Each year, there are around 30 factories without accidents. All our brands and business areas have accident and injury improvement targets. Until we reach a zero-accident rate, there is always more to be done to improve employee wellbeing.

    Mental health

    Mental health needs attention and awareness. We believe that the cornerstones of healthy workplaces are clear roles and expectations, enough time to carry out tasks, appropriate work environments, and support. 


    According to the World Health Organization, one out of four people suffer from a mental health issue today, which includes overstress, depression, burnout and suicide. At Volvo Group, we offer a wide range of support measures in order to identify warning signs and prevent factors leading to excessive stress – from apps and training videos to face-to-face sessions with psychologists and occupational therapists. Improved mental health at work leads to higher performance, trust between individuals and within teams, and high engagement.
