An effective and objective Performance Management system, in which the objectives of our institution, business results and personal competencies are considered together, is of great importance.

In all our Human Resources Policies, within the framework of our Participatory and Inclusive value, differences such as religion, language, race are not strictly observed, and in line with our gender equality processes, women's employment is given great importance with our "Equality is Here" discourse, especially in rail systems, which is a sector dominated by male employment. Gender equality, mobbing and sexual harassment are followed meticulously in our Ethics Line applications.

We have supported, contributed and pioneered many works on gender equality on national and international platforms.

Together with all our employees who are exposed to domestic violence, we fight in line with our "Approach to Combating Domestic Violence". We support all our employees who are exposed to violence in all their material and spiritual processes.
