KoçAilem: The KoçAilem (Koç Family) Programme “is a complete framework of benefits and incentives that contribute to enhancing the quality of life of Koç Group employees as members of the Koç Group Family and nurtures them at every stage of their lives.”
These stages, important to all employees, include banking procedures on starting-up at Koç, (i.e. credit cards, loans); insurance policies; automobile and home purchases; marriage and family planning; continuing education; vacations; training and self-learning opportunities for family members. The greatest strength of the Koç Group is the fact that our group companies can supply all these needs. With the KoçAilem Programme, Koç Group employees are provided with special advantages for the products and services offered by Koç Group companies, as well as given additional advantages on certain occasions and during seasonal campaigns.
Together with these opportunities, the KoçAilem Programme also includes social activities and corporate social responsibility projects, which heighten an employee’s awareness of what it means to be a Koç Group employee.
Koç Pension and Support Fund Foundation
Founded on November 1, 1967, the Koç Holding Pension and Support Fund Foundation is a corporate pension plan that provides additional social security and financial support, a fund available to all Koç Group employees who are also beneficiaries of the official Turkish Social Insurance Institution (SSK).
Every employee who begins to work at any of the Koç Group companies becomes a member of the Koç Holding Pension and Support Fund Foundation.
Here are the benefits and services provided to our members:
- Occupational indemnity against unforeseen circumstances such as death, inability to work due to sickness, and physical incapacity;
- A lump payment or a monthly pension at retirement or when a membership ends;
- Financial support for meeting certain needs and for acquiring a home; and
- Private health insurance to include the spouses and children of employees.
Once employees become foundation members, they begin paying monthly premiums from their salaries (ratios are cited below) on the condition that the premiums do not exceed the annual ceiling determined by the foundation’s board of directors. The companies also contribute an equal premium on the employee’s behalf. For the premiums, gross salaries net of social security and corporate taxes are taken as a basis for the calculation. The premiums deducted from monthly salaries include 6 percent each from the members and from the companies.
The Most Successful Koç Employees
The “Most Successful Koç Employees” (EBK) is the name of our rewards program.
The Most Successful Koç Employee Awards system is a process whereby Koç Group employees are rewarded according to the Koç Group’s competencies.
The EBK was established to recognise and appreciate achievements based on common values and competencies that will help build the Koç Group’s vision. The EBK aims at increasing the solidarity, commitment, motivation, and efficiency of the Group, honing in on the best practises across the Group and contributing to self-learning organisations. The awards system encompasses all Koç Group employees, both white and blue collar.
The Most Successful Koç Employee Awards are presented at a ceremony in December of every year to candidates who are evaluated and chosen by the Group Awards Evaluation Committee.
