New Jobs in Regions of Operation

The NIAEP activity contributes creation of new jobs both in the regions of Company’s operation and in the regions where suppliers and manufacturers of equipment and materials operate.

In 2012 nearly 80% of funds going through the accounts of the Company were received by the NIAEP counteragents which created new jobs for performance of their activity. Generally, creation of a new job at NIAEP leads to ten new jobs in related industries.

Employment of Local Population in the Russian Federation

Staff recruitment in NIAEP is carried out in accordance with STP 25.02-12 Arrangement of Staff Recruitment and Adaptation. This standard establishes the procedure for staff employment by the Central Office and structural subdivisions. Employment priority is given to local population provided that qualified employees are available in the region of operation. More than half of top managers of NIAEP are employed from among local population living in the relevant regions of operation.

Community offices are established to help the construction and mounting departments and contracting and subcontracting organizations operating on construction sites in solving the problem of HR recruitment.

All specialists employed through community offices are citizens of Russia (except for community offices in Visaginas established for citizens of Lithuania). 95% of them constantly reside in cities and settlements located within 100 km from NPP construction sites. 100% of staff employed by subsidiaries and contracting organizations get wages exceeding the minimum monthly wage fixed in the relative regions of operation.
