Employee Responsibility

Supportive leadership

in our operations

Bird's eye view: Many colleagues in work clothes stand around a table in a meeting room and analyze figures together.

For Intersnack, leading isn’t a top-down approach; it’s about empowering our people to do their best work.

We call this ‘servant leadership’ because the leader’s role is to remove barriers that employees may face, to make their jobs easier and help talents to flourish. It is about listening to every voice to learn how to make everyone’s work more fulfilling and more effective. By doing this we unlock potential and achieve our business goals.

The approach is simple: managers learn to ask the right questions and act based on the answers. Across the group, leaders now spend two hours every day on the factory floor, giving more opportunities to engage with employees on an open and personal level, to discuss work and solve any problems. We are creating an environment where teams become self-sufficient, with all the necessary skills and competencies – as well as the authority – to make their own decisions.

"The greatest achievement is the improvement in our business results. Not by focusing on goals, but by focusing on people. If you empower people, the results will come.”

Marcin Gorlach, Logistics and Purchasing Director, Intersnack Poland

Nurturing talent

One of our core values is ‘growing together’. To realise this, we provide career development to nurture potential talent and build a pipeline of future innovators. As well as learning sessions and tools, we employ a ‘learn-by-doing’ mindset.

Our managers act as mentors, providing on-the-job coaching that equips our people for real-life workplace challenges.

Engaging colleagues

To ensure highly motivated people and teams, our workplace culture lets people know that their opinions matter. We regularly track employee satisfaction, morale and progress.

In 2023 we achieved a 63% average participation rate, with 66% positive responses that showed ‘strongly agree’ or ‘agree’.
