The AAK workforce in numbers As of December 31, 2014, AAK had a total of 2,459 employees (an average of 2,439 employees, as stated in the Annual Report 2014), 2.2 percent less than in 2013. Among permanent employees, approximately 11 percent left the company.   The average age of employees in Europe is significantly higher than in the rest of the world due to a more mature organization. 22 percent of AAK’s permanent employees are female. This is a lower percentage than in many other businesses, and is explained by the fact that working in the production plants typically attracts more men than women. At managerial level, 17 percent of employees are female.   69 percent of AAK’s employees are permanently employed, while 11 percent are on temporary contracts.
