"We believe in People" is one of H&M's values , that we communicate to all our employees worldwide. H&M has an "open door" policy, granting all employees the right and possibility to discuss any work related issue directly with the management.
Naturally we also believe in our employees right and ability to decide who should represent them in the workplace. We also respect each employee's individual right to choose to become member of a union.
H&M follows this policy in all countries, since freedom of association is one of our basic values.
It is very important for H&M to maintain good relations with all our employees, as individuals and also with the organisations that represent them. We follow all collective agreements negotiated with the unions legally representing our employees in the various H&M workplaces all over the world.
