How values are demonstrated Our culture reflects a system of organizational values that serve as a common denominator to unite our diverse workforce and inform how we select, promote, and reward our best people. Our values – Play to Win, One Team, Act with Urgency, Passion for Results, Operate with Respect, and Think and Act Like Owners – help us move each other forward to achieve our goals. Our goals align with these values, emphasizing that how we achieve our performance is just as important as the outcome. Those values are expressed through a set of behaviors aligned with various job roles and business units. We measure these behaviors explicitly at the end-of-the-year performance and nine-box talent reviews to help our employees Grow@Aptiv. How employees are respected At Aptiv, we value everyone’s perspective and foster an environment of respect and inclusion. Our flat organizational structure enables us to learn from each other, help each other, and give our employees the autonomy and flexibility to share their ideas and solutions. Leveraging our employees’ diverse backgrounds and experiences allows us to make better decisions and improve our employees’ experience. We are proud to have been named a Financial Times Diversity Leader for a second year and that women account for ~50 percent of our global workforce. We have built an ethical culture throughout the organization, providing tools, training, and multiple channels to speak up, such as our DRIVE line, to ensure we do the right thing, the right way. For the 11th consecutive year, Aptiv has been named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere. Throughout the year, we listen to our employees through cross-organization listening sessions with our CEO and SVPs. As well as engagement pulse checks to ensure we support every employee in their career journey at Aptiv. We take that feedback to continuously improve the employee experience, making our company a great workplace. How employees are supported Aptiv continually strives to create and maintain an environment where innovation thrives, and our employees are empowered to think and act like owners. To this end, Aptiv provides coaching and mentoring options across many organizational levels. We also offer internal job opportunities, including global rotations and stretch assignments, to help colleagues develop and grow their careers. We manage succession planning as part of our operating cadence, and Aptiv is committed to growing the next generation of leaders. Our established leadership programs give leaders the tools to be effective today while preparing them for future challenges. We also leverage Aptiv Academy, our online learning management system, across the business, using in-person, online, and virtual reality learning opportunities. How leadership demonstrates values Our CEO puts people first and promotes the importance of moving forward as one team. He is focused on strengthening our business foundation, ensuring we have the talent and the operational footprint needed to execute, resulting in a more robust and sustainable business model for the future. To help our high-performing team succeed, he fosters a culture that values diverse backgrounds, prioritizes safety, and recognizes that talent development is a never-ending process. Investing in our people at every stage of their careers and in the communities where they live, and work isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s good business.
