The AAK workforce in numbers
As of December 31, 2019, AAK had a total of 3,884
employees within the scope of this report.
The turnover rate increased and ended up at 15.5
percent in 2019.
The average age of employees in Europe is significantly
52
higher than in the rest of the world and 23
percent of AAK’s permanent employees are female. At
managerial level, 24 percent of employees are female,
which is an increase by 28 percent compared to last
year. Considering our ambition going forward to become
a more inclusive company, this is a development we
would like to see continue.
75 percent of AAK’s employees are permanently
employed, while 7 percent are on a temporary contract.
The remaining 18 percent comprises trainees, agency
staff and at-will employees. The latter is a doctrine of
American law that refers to an employment relationship
which can be broken by either party with no liability.
