Today, Nowy Styl is Europe’s leading office furniture manufacturer. It is hard to believe that a little over 30 years ago we started production with just seven employees and three chair models. Our development was aided by investments, the construction of modern factories and a research and development centre. Above all, however, the foundation of Nowy Styl success are its people: creative, ambitious and committed. We select our employees in a multi-stage recruitment process based on the principles of equality, non-discrimination and inclusiveness, which are expressed in our policies and Code of Ethics. We are aware that the diversity of our team enriches the entire organisation, so we constantly strive to refine our recruitment procedures and promote the ethical principles mentioned above, i.e. during onboarding. We also care about the occupational health and safety of our workers and provide them with various opportuni- ties for development, which will be discussed in detail in this chapter. 57
