Cultivating talents with innovation
Honeywell is committed to combining the three major development trends of automation, future aviation and energy transformation with the development needs of the Chinese market and enterprises to promote influential local innovation. Cultivating local innovative talents is a key area that the company attaches great importance to.
Honeywell has organized innovation competitions for many years to encourage employees to develop differentiated solutions and promote the application of cutting-edge technologies and sustainable development of the industry. Taking 2024 as an example, the competition received a total of 370 innovative solutions, covering artificial intelligence, sustainable development, high-end manufacturing and new service applications.
Honeywell not only provides digital solutions for the industry and customers, but also innovatively applies artificial intelligence to daily operations, including artificial intelligence tools developed by the company, which greatly help employees improve work efficiency, obtain information in a timely manner and participate in training on their own; the company’s management also innovatively achieves talent matching and career development planning through a variety of digital systems.
Developing talents with inclusion and diversity
Inclusion and diversity are Honeywell’s core values. The company has established an inclusion and diversity joint meeting in China and held a variety of activities to promote employees’ understanding and recognition of corporate culture and the diversified development of talents.
For example, Honeywell has long been concerned about the growth of women and ensures that female employees have equal career development opportunities in all aspects of human resources management. Honeywell and the Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation have jointly created the “She Says” Women’s Empowerment Project, which encourages women to bravely pursue their career ideals in the wave of technological innovation and digitalization through public welfare lectures, public welfare short films, and charity aid. The project has now been shortlisted for the “Best Human Resources Practice Case” in the “China’s Outstanding Employers 2024 White Paper”.
Pay attention to the health of talents and listen to their voices
The company not only has facilities such as gyms and baby rooms, but also launches employee psychological counseling programs, focusing on the comprehensive development of employees’ body and mind. During Honeywell’s annual health theme month, employees’ “Well-being Champions” will launch theme challenges to increase everyone’s attention to health. During Volunteer Month every year, the company organizes corporate social responsibility activities to encourage employees to participate in volunteer activities to give back to the community.
In addition, Honeywell has launched a comprehensive feedback mechanism to listen to employees’ opinions and suggestions through regular employee communication and surveys, group interviews, employee conferences, etc., and transform them into a series of improvement measures. This not only improves employees’ work experience, but also reflects the company’s commitment to employee well-being and career development.
Honeywell has always adhered to the “people-oriented” talent development plan. Entering 2025, the company will continue to develop its business around the three major development trends of future aviation, energy transformation and automation, adopt a positive talent policy to form an “elite team” in China, promote China’s business growth with local innovation, and jointly build a low-carbon, efficient, safe and healthy sustainable development future.
