People Strategy

Smurfit Kappa office workers 

Our HR strategy is built on developing our people to grow our business. Our strategy’s focus is to attract, retain, and reward talent, and also unlock people’s talent and potential. The strategy is specifically focused on:

  1. understanding the organizational needs;
  2. identifying the people priorities required to realize our business ambitions;
  3. providing a road map to ensure we have succession plans in place to fill leadership gaps and provide the necessary talent to drive forward successfully, with people at the right career level and development stage and in the right place; and
  4. ensuring HR services and capabilities are in place for the current and future needs of the business.
