MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES - MBO
With the intent of facilitating effective management within the Company, in 2013 we adopted a new approach to the Management by Objectives policy dating back to 2002. A new Instruction on Management by Objectives was implemented at KOGENERACJA S.A. to enable the correlation of MBO Contracts to the Company’s employee performance appraisal system. The document also specifies the method of assessing the achievement of objectives and of calculating the weights assigned to individual tasks.
Specific MBO Contracts were concluded in early 2016 between the Chief Executive Officer and every Operational Director. Tasks allocated in the MBO Contracts for 2016 resulted directly from the Strategy of KOGENERACJA S.A. Tasks specified in the Contracts of Operational Directors were subsequently cascaded to Department Heads, with whom MBO Contracts were also signed in the manner stipulated in the revised Instruction.
