Our People

Keeping our employees safe has always been one of our highest priorities at Amphenol, and during the pandemic our teams took added steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our facilities. To protect our factory employees, we required health screenings, offered face masks and hand sanitizer, upgraded building ventilation systems and installed non-touch doors, drinking fountains and sanitation stations. Where practical and appropriate, we have expanded our remote work options to help our employees optimally manage their work and personal responsibilities. We have also restructured our healthcare initiatives to better include remote workers and their unique needs.

The coordination of onsite safety programs, resources, reporting and training is conducted locally by our EHS&S and human resources staff to ensure these programs are properly communicated and understood. Our corporate EHS&S team works closely with our local teams to ensure our facilities are operating safely. To support a safe working environment for our factory workers, most of our operations have safety committees and some employ safety management systems, including ISO 45001. While our safety training is conducted locally, our employee training hours are tracked at a corporate level through our internal reporting systems. We believe that this model of tracking at the corporate level, but administering at the local level, has allowed us to provide training and supervision that best fits the needs of our global workforce.

We want to ensure that our business remains competitive, which means supporting our employees with the training and tools they need to develop and enhance their professional skills. Our businesses around the world support continuous learning and advanced training for the development of new skills. We also enable employee transfers to support new job opportunities in different business units or when employees choose to relocate. In addition, some of our facilities offer tuition reimbursement to support employee development and life-long learning.

Our facilities actively engage with our communities because we realize how critical the health and vitality of these communities are to our own employees and to our business. Most of our community outreach is organized locally by our teams, which helps ensure that our efforts are directly supporting the local communities in which our employees live and work. These activities often include sponsoring and partnering with local charitable organizations to provide food for homeless shelters, organize activities at retirement centers, clean up local habitats, donate school supplies to needy children and sponsor gift drives during the holidays. In other cases, our facilities are improving their communities directly through the donations of resources or time. Whether through giving back to the community, volunteering time or creating opportunities for local employment, our teams at Amphenol remain committed to helping the communities in which they live.

At Amphenol, we aim to create an inclusive working environment where all employees are respected and treated equitably. While our company spans the globe, we remain agile by not standardizing our approach across our businesses. We rely on local nationals to serve as general managers in every region, a unique approach that we believe creates a strong degree of organizational stability and a deep commitment to our people and the communities in which they live.
