Dear colleagues,

We have recently introduced a new competency model, which we have called DOPIS - Keeping the Word, Goal Orientation, Proactivity, Innovation and Collaboration.

This model did not come about by accident. It's based on our core values that express who we are and where we are going. The DOPIS is not just a set of rules of conduct, but also a compass to help us better navigate our daily work and decision-making.

It will play a vital role in all HR processes - from recruiting new colleagues, to developing and training them, to rewarding and promoting them. At the same time, I believe it will become an inspiration for all of us. It will help us not only to achieve our goals, but also to build together a company culture based on trust, innovation and teamwork.

For the DOPIS to be of real benefit, it is important that it becomes part of our thinking and our daily actions. Only together can we improve our company culture and at the same time strengthen our position in the market.

And how does our DOPIS sound?

We keep our word

Trustworthiness and ethics means the ability to keep promises, act with empathy, respect others and maintain high standards of moral integrity.

Goal orientation

Goal orientation and customer care means setting clear and achievable goals, providing exceptional customer care not only for the sake of customer appreciation, but to truly improve the value and success of the entire company.

Proactivity

A proactive approach and commitment includes the ability to take initiative and flexibility to solve problems, continuously develop personally, put forth maximum effort, work hard and actively seek ways and solutions.

Innovation

Innovative thinking and courage means not being afraid to try new and different things, taking a healthy level of risk even at the cost of possible failure, and always striving for meaningful results and added value.

Collaboration

Collaboration and sharing involves knowing how to work effectively with others, valuing teamwork, being open to different perspectives and ideas, and actively sharing knowledge and experience.

Pictured holding the sign is our miner Richard, who is the main face of MND in our communications. But let's not let that fool us. The aim of the new competency model is that everyone really does represent the values in the DOPIS. We will therefore introduce each value in turn in a series of articles and discuss what the values mean to us. Please keep an eye on our internal communication with DOPIS, and we will certainly have some nice prize competitions coming up.
