EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION
As the world's largest distributor of electronic components and computer products, Arrow has more than 250 sales facilities and 23 distribution centers in 39 countries. Arrow's preeminence is directly linked to the outstanding capabilities of our people. This requires us to expect very high standards from our employees at all levels. This covers their personal qualities, professional skills and their ability to adapt and develop.

Only as long as we live up to these aspirations do we earn the success and progress we seek. It is no easy task we set ourselves, but success based on teamwork has its own special reward. The well being and improvement of our workforce cannot be underestimated. Being an Arrow employee has to be worthwhile even during difficult periods.

Working together with colleagues and teamwork at all levels are Arrow essentials. This is why we make certain stipulations:

• Leaders and all others employees must actively involve themselves in creating the right atmosphere for working together within the group. It is the responsibility of the leader to ensure that this is carried out optimally.
  
  
• It is of importance to us that each employee's contribution, both to job and family, is shown in mutual flexibility, consideration and openness.
  
  
• Our leaders must support and inspire our employees in their work and their career development.
  
  
• The management of Arrow must maintain a high level of informative communication towards their employees.
  
  
• The recruitment and introduction of new employees rank high on our list of priorities, and careful attention is given to setting out our expectations and requirements.
  
  
• Arrow leaders have to motivate and engage, create confidence and a sense of security. The wide scope within Arrow leadership is the result of continuing innovation and career options of equal status: Line manager, project manager or specialist in a particular discipline.
