Challenge

VEKA is committed to a culture that everyone can identify with and belong to – one that strongly reflects the values and standards of the company. This led to the creation of ‘THE VEKA WAY’ to ensure consistency of operations across the business and in how their leaders lead. Dale Carnegie is VEKA’s long term development partner. Together they created the VEKA WAY. Working with multiple groups across the organisation they deliver practical solutions that enable people to take ownership and responsibility for living and breathing THE VEKA WAY.
