Own Workforce

 Employees are our most valued assets. We aim to provide safe, respectful, and professional working environments across all locations.  

We believe a diverse workforce strengthens our organization. Different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives contribute to better decision-making and innovation. 

We provide equal opportunities to all employees and applicants, regardless of origin, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or other personal characteristics. 

We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or inappropriate behavior. Every employee is expected to contribute to maintaining a respectful workplace environment. 

At TenCate Protective Fabrics, social programs provide employees with structured opportunities to engage with their communities while supporting internal communication.

The Engager Network Group, with 28 members globally, supports two-way communication between employees and the organization and helps coordinate community and environmental activities across regions. Members model core behaviors such as communication, reliability, and teamwork, reinforcing a consistent workplace culture.

At the site level, additional initiatives, including employee support programs, provide practical resources for local teams. Together, these efforts connect employee engagement with community involvement across our global operations.

Training and education at TenCate Protective Fabrics focus on building core capabilities and supporting employee development across regions.

We provide a combination of targeted programs and digital learning platforms to support leadership development, technical skills, and day-to-day job requirements. These tools offer flexible, accessible learning aligned with individual roles and organizational needs.

Employees are also encouraged to pursue cross-training opportunities across teams, supporting skill development and operational flexibility throughout TenCate Protective Fabrics.

All employees at TenCate Protective Fabrics receive annual performance evaluations through a standardized global process. This approach helps ensure clear expectations and supports ongoing professional development across our regions. 

The process is supported by Trakstar, a centralized platform where employees and managers set goals, track progress, and document performance reviews. These evaluations provide a framework for discussing performance, skill development, and potential career pathways. 

Individual development plans are a key component of this process. By linking performance evaluations with development planning, we support internal mobility and help employees build the skills needed to take on new roles within TenCate Protective Fabrics’ global operations.
