A close-knit, efficient team is the key to successful production. One of the priorities for subdivision managers is integrating new employees into the team as quickly as possible, fostering an environment of mutual trust, responsibility, and support. Recently, the BOF Shop and Blast Furnace Shop have held ‘no-tie’ meetings between newly hired employees and their managers.Kamet Steel has held the first meetings in a new format as part of a programme that has been rolled out across Metinvest Group’s enterprises since November 2024. The main purpose of such communication is to facilitate the adaptation of newly hired employees and establish a positive emotional connection with their managers to support and motivate them.For instance, Denys Yeskov, head of the BOF Shop, welcomed his new colleagues into his office, effortlessly easing their initial discomfort with his trademark hospitality and open conversation.

After work, he studies online at Metinvest Polytechnic, and he also has a family – a wife, son and daughter. On his weekends, the man travels to the defenders' loca

Hot metal melts are being produced, the quality of the product and the uninterrupted operation of the furnaces are controlled, the temperature inside of which can reach two thousand degrees."It is from the birth of the first hot metal that the chronicle of the enterprise begins – the traditions of leadership, dedication, and mutual support are born. We cherish these traditions today, in especially difficult times for the industry, the whole of Ukraine. We are blast furnace workers, we know what stability and endurance are," says the head of the shop Serhii SAFONOV.One of the first to meet hot metal in the cast house is the blast-furnace man Vitaliy MINKO. Today he is on the second blast furnace.
