Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. We agree that we have a very good total rewards offering for our employees. There may have been unusually high turnover in the facility you worked in, but on average Essity does trend below industry standard in turnover and this is something we take great pride in. Thank you for your comments and suggestion that we listen better to our employees. We are going to be conducting a company wide employee survey in September where we hope to get good feedback on how we can do better.
