      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We care about our employees and are sorry to hear that you rate your work experience at Yara so low. 89% of our employees are proud to work for Yara (according to our employee engagement survey of May 2017 with more than 10.000 responses, i.e. 76%). Diversity & Inclusion is one of our priorities and indeed an area where we can still improve. However, the majority of Yara's Management team is new in their position (average time is around 1 year) and many have way to go to retirement (more than 15 years for more than half of them). Is also not exclusively Norwegian: Yves Bonte and Pierre Herben are Belgian and Lair Hanzen is Brazilian,

This could potentially affect job security and fairness within the company, making it important to consider these risks before joining. • Low Morale Due to Layoffs: The recent management changes and layoffs have significantly impacted morale within the team.
