— Introducing new HR procedures Procedures support our core HR policies

As announced in the June 2021 HR Lineup, four new core HR policies are now in effect and available on the ABB governance portal. These policies include: Hire to Retire, Labor Relations, People Development, Performance & Reward. Each core HR policy is supported by related core HR procedures. These procedures in- clude additional details and carry the same weight and compliance requirements as the policies, meaning it is mandatory that Divisions, Business Areas, GBS and Corpo- rate follow these policies and procedures. Together, the policies and procedures

provide specific governance information, including roles, responsibilities and ex- pected actions in a more simple and struc- tured way, ensuring clarity and giving straightforward information to the stakeholders. “The core HR policies and procedures provide clear framework around key HR elements and further drive simplifica- tion, harmonization and consistency in approach of applying these policies in Business Areas, Divisions, GBS and Corporate Functions,” said Grazyna Eubanks, Head of HR Corporate Functions.
