With our talent-oriented human resources strategies, we carry out supportive and inclusive processes at every stage of the employee journey. Through our practices focused on training, development, career management, and employee satisfaction, we are building a sustainable employer brand.
Our Energy is Carried to the Future with Women!
With our FutureFem project, we aim to empower women in the energy sector and support their career journeys. By bringing together young women studying engineering and social sciences at universities, we offer a comprehensive training program focused on sustainability and the energy sector.
In this intensive five-week program, participants receive training from experts on topics such as Innovation in Renewable Energy, Supply Chain, R&D and EU Projects, and Sustainability. They reinforce their knowledge through specially designed digital content on Zorlu Academy. While developing themselves with personal development programs and interactive workshops, they gain inspiration for their careers during meetings with our senior executives. At the end of the program, they present the projects they have prepared to our executives, build professional connections, and take a strong step into the sector.
We match all participants with our team of volunteer mentors composed of our managers, providing mentoring support.
With FutureFem, we are not only promoting equal opportunities but also building a more sustainable and inclusive future in the energy sector.
Equality Begins at Home!
In line with our gender equality goals, we are implementing the Father Support Program in collaboration with AÇEV (Mother Child Education Foundation).
With this program, we aim to ensure that fathers participate in their children's development more consciously and actively. Our goal is to raise awareness about parenting roles, strengthen family dynamics, and build healthier relationships.
Participants who successfully complete the program adopt an egalitarian approach within the family and become pioneers of sustainable social transformation.
As Zorlu Enerji, we continue to support equality not only in the workplace but also within the family.
Women Make a Difference in Engineering!
On International Women in Engineering Day, we bring together nearly 40 future women leaders studying at engineering faculties.
At this event, organized with our vision of sustainability and gender equality, participants meet with industry professionals and academics to discuss the innovative, creative, and bold perspectives women bring to the engineering sector.
On this special day filled with inspiring success stories, we also discuss solutions to increase women’s presence in engineering. At the end of the event, we crown this meaningful day with a donation to Darüşşafaka on behalf of the future women engineers.
We believe in the strong presence of women in engineering and are proud to be a source of inspiration for them.
As Zorlu Enerji, we believe that continuous learning and employee development are key elements in achieving our strategic goals and building a sustainable future.
In this context, we implement comprehensive development programs tailored to various needs, supporting the personal and professional growth of our employees.
Coaching and Mentoring: Through our internal and external mentoring programs, our experienced employees share their knowledge to guide young talents, facilitating their career journeys, accelerating learning processes within the company, and supporting their integration into the corporate culture.
(e.g., FutureFEM, SKD Türkiye Sustainhub, and YETGEN Projects)
Communities and Networks: To promote internal communication and collaboration, we support various platforms such as internal social networks, volunteer groups, and knowledge-sharing teams (e.g., initiatives like “Zorlu Sparks Projects”).
Leadership Development Programs: We invest in future leaders by offering leadership training programs tailored to different management levels through platforms like LinkedIn Learning.
Cultural Awareness: Our training portfolio includes sessions that aim to raise awareness on diversity, equity, and inclusion, encouraging a respectful and inclusive work environment.
Digital Transformation Training: We strengthen our employees' digital competencies with e-learning modules and hands-on training in topics such as data analytics, cybersecurity, and next-generation technologies like artificial intelligence.
All our programs are designed to include permanent, contracted, and part-time employees.
The effectiveness of these programs is monitored through performance indicators such as training hours per employee and internal promotion rates and is publicly shared in our sustainability reports.
You can access more detailed information in our Annual Integrated Activity Report.
Our company implements comprehensive workforce programs to ensure that all our employees are employed under dignified, fair, and safe working conditions. The practices and policies we adopt within this framework are grouped under the following headings:
