Employee engagement

We believe that open dialogue and collaboration are essential to fostering a positive and productive workplace. To strengthen our connection with employees, we conduct a biannual Global Engagement Survey inviting employees to share feedback and insights. The surveys allow us to understand what’s working well and where we can improve.

Our recent survey saw a high response rate that shows our employees’ commitment to shaping Ardagh. Based on the survey results, we developed action plans for various teams and follow up on our progress throughout the year to ensure meaningful change. Across our regions, we also engage in ongoing conversations with employee representatives, including Unions and Works Councils, to ensure that all voices are heard and respected.

Listening to our employees


Ardagh recognises that listening to its employees’ feedback helps to build upon and maintain a company and a culture that attracts, and more importantly, retains talented people. In partnership with Culture Amp, a market-leading employee experience platform, Ardagh launched its first global employee engagement survey in 2022 with a more recent survey taking place in 2024 which received a notable improvement in participation. Action plans are in development across regional operating businesses, facilities and function levels to respond to feedback received in the survey and address areas for improvement.
