Training and career development

Another of the principal challenges of the ACS Group is to make full use of and integrate the personal and professional diversity of its work groups in order to improve its capacity of response to the growing needs of its customers. The Group seeks to continuously involve its entire staff in corporate objectives and philosophy, allowing employees to simultaneously develop their professional potential and skills.

The Group's strategy involves an overall approach of ongoing training in the workplace, in classes or by distance. The Group’s annual training plan sets forth over half a million hours of study in courses and seminars throughout the range of activities of the Group and, specifically, in areas associated with:

• Training of management.
• Technological specialization in management and production systems.
• Knowledge of products and services developed.
• Policies on quality and the environment.
• Job safety.

In terms of time, dedication and resources, the most effort is placed on labor risk prevention and job safety training. This enables the ACS Group to obtain rates of job-related accidents that are much lower than the sector average.

In all cases, training procedures are internally and externally audited every year, thus guaranteeing an optimum level and an ongoing process of improvement of programs.
