Education, training and skills development programs

We have two major programs to support our employees’ development within and outside the Group. The first of these training programs seek to develop technical-operational, administrative and human leadership skills to help employees succeed on the job while the second program offers employees a variety of courses, workshops and events to support their personal, emotional and family growth.

To close this virtuous circle of growth, 100% of our employees receive an annual evaluation and feedback of their work through a skills evaluation complemented by organizational climate studies that allow us to align our employees’ interests with the Group's strategy and corporate objectives.

The corporate induction and money laundering prevention courses, and the Code of Ethics and Conduct certification are mandatory for all staff members. These provide employees with the tools they need to become part of their corporate culture and allow us to guarantee that they know, understand and are committed to the Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct and the laws and principles that govern our business.

Formación

En 2011 solo se impartía a Gerentes de OS, a partir de 2012 también se imparte a áreas de servicio. Los cursos de inducción a la empresa, prevención del lavado de dinero y la certificación en el Código de Ética y Conducta, son de carácter obligatorio para todo el personal. Estos le brindan al colaborador herramientas para integrarse a la cultura corporativa de su empresa y nos permite asegurarnos del conocimiento, la comprensión y el compromiso con el Código de Ética y Conducta, las leyes y principio éticos que nos rigen.
