We understand human talent as the beginning and the source of competitiveness. It is a fundamental pillar of our strategy, together with culture and knowledge, that allows us to create a powerful differentiation to compete in the markets where we are present.
Human talent and culture
Lines of work
Our management of human talent is based on four main lines of work: Attraction and commitment, Design and compensation, Organizational development and Health and safety at work.
We complement our strategy, monitoring trends and signals to which we must be attentive, to contribute to the development of our Talent in aspects such as: Integral leadership, Universal learning, Employer brand, flexible organizations and development of organizational capacities.
We monitor multiple indicators around the management of human talent, with the aim of detecting opportunities and promoting initiatives aimed at the attraction, development, care and loyalty of employees.
Our objective is to improve the results annually, taking care that at least the same result as the previous year is obtained, in indicators such as absenteeism and turnover, for example. Measurements of engagement are made annually, having last year a score of 82.45, placing us at an outstanding level.

Turnover rate
Employee turnover indicates the variation in the number of employees of a company. This rate represents the number of employees that leaves the Company regardless of the reason compared to the average number of active employees for the period. This is further broken down to show the number of employees in administrative positions as well as the number of internal and external customer care personnel.
| 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | |
| Total employee turnover rate | 12.9 | 11.8 | 12.78 | 10.8 |
| Voluntary employee turnover rate | 7.6 | 7.6 | 7.49 | 6.4 |
The rotation index (IR) is calculated as follows: IR = [number of employees removed from the company for any reason in the period] / average number of active employees in the period
In order to have comparability with previous years the turnover rate is calculated without the comercial force, which is 10.8. The turnover rate including the commercial force is 17 as it is shown in the annual report.
Target: For the company, it is very important to keep the turnover rate within a healthy minimum and not exceed the annual turnover % from the previous year.
Absentee rate
The calculation of the absentee rate will reflect, in a percentage way, how long workers have been absent from their jobs in relation to the time they were expected to be. It also allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of our health and safety programs.
Absentee rate 2018: 1.40%
2017: 2.23%
2016: 3.14%
2015: 2.85%
Target: The objective of the company is not to exceed the percentage of the absentee rate of the previous year.
