Our People Overview

 Our people are the foundation of our success throughout the world. Our goal is to attract, develop, and retain the best talent and create an environment that enables each employee to contribute to our collective success.

We are creating a work environment where:
  • Alcoa has become a preferred employer with a diverse and skilled workforce accountable to clear standards.
  • Work is done in an Alcoa Business System environment, where feedback, problem solving, and process improvements are built into the daily routine.
  • Pay, recognition, and career development are linked to delivering business results.
  • The Alcoa values and employee pride inside and outside the workplace are evident across the organization.

To reach this target, our HR function is partnering with the business units to set specific actions, timetables, and metrics that provide direction and measurement against progress. There are challenges that must be overcome, and these include the global nature of the company, differing cultural issues and governmental regulations, and our decentralized structure.

Working together, we are confident that we can focus on growth, attract and retain diverse talent, maintain an engaged workforce, and develop the leaders for today and for our future—both in the community and at work.
