We create opportunities of career promotion for each our employee. As part of an integrated learning and career development team, all employees are able improve their professional and personal qualities, broaden their horizon, acquire new knowledge and competences in their professional field.
Individual professional grow is one of essential corporate values, a priority target of the management and the basis for the development of business. The Corporation supports any self-development initiatives of employees. For each division, annual training plans are developed. Employees participate in various kinds training (classroom instructions, correspondence, online, etc.) depending on its own preferences, with the approval of their division head.
We pursue an open and democratic personnel policy focused on the formation and development of innovative and professional team of like-minded persons. To determine a reasonable salary, we carry out comprehensive employee activity appraisals on a regular basis. This allows to establish proficiency levels and reveal potential for future growth. It is often this appraisal that serves as the basis for additional training objectives.

Support of scientific research
Today we employ 10 Candidates of science and 7 postgraduates, of which four began their doctoral studies in 2018.
We promote the participation of employees in scientific and research activities, we create the conditions for the realization of personal scientific, research, artistic and cognitive potential. We support their pursuance of academic credentials. Our employee interest in scientific activities owes much to the close-end business process system: from scientific research and development to production, from production to project realization and subsequent servicing of lighting systems during their operation, from operation to analysis of obtained results, and back to research and development. Analysis of results dictates new business objectives to improve process solutions. We always base our search for the above on the science.

Why are we doing this?
We are recognized by the professional community as the leading expert in the domestic lighting engineering industry, and we are always competitive at the global market. Being the best in your field is the best guarantee of return on investments.
Work with young professionals
We implement the Young Professional program. This involves various types of education, instruction and additional training of young professionals including remote education. To intensify training we grant access to the Company's manufacturing, information, scientific and research resources. We carry out training on a gratuitous basis and on co-financing terms.
We carry out work to train future young professionals from students of the Lighting Engineering Department of IU MEI. No less than 20 individuals are trained and do fieldwork at enterprises of the Corporation, or work in their study-free time. By involving students into professional activities as early as during their training, we offer them the opportunity to decide upon the future of their professional life. They choose the work to their liking and we select the most promising professionals.

Corporate newspaper and corporate portal unite us
The corporate newspaper and web portal are communication tools that make it possible for employees of the Corporation's enterprises to feel a unified team. All the divisions located in different parts of the world are able to feel their participation in common business. All it takes is opening the Light Life Newspaper or visiting the Intranet Portal.
Light Life regularly relates all the important events of the Corporation. In its column one may find materials on accomplished projects, editorial articles on products, and interviews with employees, a news feed, and much more. All the materials are written in a simple language clear to any reader, not just a professional lighting engineer.
The intranet is a convenient instrument, which helps our employees in their day-to-day activities. It enables fast search of structural divisions and employees, access to in-house data bases and keeping updated by important news.
By the way, the development of the Light Life and Intranet's new feed is yet another example of youth activities.

For this purpose, we carry out culture-related events that unite whole divisions into a cohesive system, on a regular basis. Each of these events creates wonderful environment so that our employees are able to unlock their latent creative potential. As an example, the Kadoshkino Electrical Engineering Plant Choir established in 1968 is the only ensemble of the Republic of Mordovia, which was awarded the title of People's Choir.
Sports
The sport is a powerful team-building factor, which trains esprit de corps. We are focused on intensive development of the sportive element of the life of our team, and we support any endeavors in this area.

Support of scientific publishing
The lighting engineering science, education, as well as for the sector as a whole require stable channels of information, first and foremost, of scientific publishing. The Svetotekhnika Magazine is the scientific mouthpiece of the sector. The English language version, Light & Engineering, is listed in all the science-related international data bases, while the Russian version is supplemented with a section dealing with applied engineering. The Corporation is a reliable partner of the Svetotekhnika Scientific and Engineering Magazine, and invests in science publishing industry.

Why are we doing this?
By supporting lighting engineering publishing sector, we are the first to gain information and the first to communicate information about the Corporation.
Support of national culture
When illuminating cultural heritage objects, we also contribute to their artistic vision. New images of these objects inspire artists, photographers, writers, composers and other persons of creative occupations.
We are not just illuminating cultural heritage sites, we help to preserve them. As part of the mission to support cultural values, the Corporation illuminated over 150 religious structures.
We also support culture outside our professional activities. The Hope of the Homeland Award established by Georgy Boos to be awarded to young prominent Russian performers has become one of traditions of the International Organ Player Contest.

Why are we doing this?
