People First

At Polygon, people always come first. Our key resources are people, knowledge and technology – in that order. We believe that if our employees are engaged, they will perform well and then also generate satisfied customers. This is the foundation of our business philosophy – the Polygon Model – and a very central part of the “Our Responsibility” programme.

A Diverse Workforce

Polygon has over 8,000 employees in 18 countries. Our business is diverse and so are our employees. Many come from the construction, real estate or plumbing industries. Some colleagues have academic degrees, while the vast majority are experienced practical technicians. Regardless of background, everyone in Polygon should feel respected and included – that is a cornerstone of our corporate culture and consistent with our corporate values of integrity, excellence and empathy.

Attitude is Key

Experience and skills are important but, in the end, it is people with the right attitude who make the difference. We often meet people whose lives have been severely disrupted, and a Polygon employee always needs to demonstrate genuine understanding of their situation. This is crucial, especially since we, in most cases, work in people’s homes and in direct contact with them. We make certain that our employees get the proper training, knowledge and tools to perform their job. Once people are on board, we bring them up to speed and train them.
