Coca-Cola HBC fights personnel deficit with succession plans

She said that succession plans are made within the company in each department and for each position. “That is why we are not facing crisis situations. The selection base is made up of employees, for whom we announce vacancies internally, and of external candidates, especially students and young graduates,” Simona Popovici told Business Standard.

“With EU integration, the mobility of the labor force has increased, but certain categories of specialists are not complying with European standards,” she said. Thus, costs per employee rose since last year, due to development programs and benefits. The company is investing an average €1 million annually in training its employees.

Coca-Cola HBC Romania is the international soft drink producer’s bottling company in Romania, with factories in Bucharest and several other cities, and more than 3,000 employees.
