Human talent

We understand that people are the core of our strategy

We recognize that people are at the center of our organization, the identity and culture, and attempting to leverage their development and their relationship to the environment.

Accordingly, we intend to enable people, based on flexibility and diversity, to fully develop their being and their potential to generate value for the company, for their stakeholders, and for society as a whole.

When we speak of human talent, we are referring to the people and their relationship to the environment, where the interaction of their skills, traits, principles, knowledge, experiences, attitudes, character, and initiatives are the skills that enable them to learn and develop in different contexts.

We understand that people whole beings, in a state of continuous development, with the ability to adapt and transform themselves and transform their environment.

“A human being is that person who can always be different”.

Training and development

People, with their talents, ideas, and behaviors, enable the company to endure over time, achieve its objectives, and contribute to society

For our teams, we want people who question themselves, who have dialogues, and know their environment; free and autonomous human beings who are in constant development and evolution; people who go beyond their role as employees and who, based on the tools we make available to them, can raise their level of awareness to become responsible citizens.

This is why we provide forums for training and development, based on a set of competencies that leverage our purpose of creating sustainable profits. Listening, conversing, emotional understanding, self-knowledge, and research are some of the competencies we are constantly trying to develop in Grupo SURA.

Inspiring leadership

We believe in a leadership that promotes open dialogues and constant listening because these are the only way to build trust-based relationships.

This leadership starts by recognizing, valuing, and understanding others and their environment, based on their diversity of thoughts, behaviors, and situations. We understand that only by understanding others as a whole we are able to drive and inspire personal and team development, increase cooperation, consistency, and trust, the trust that is based on a shared purpose.

Because we are a company with a regional reach, that promotes the ability to exert influence, dialogue, and leadership, we have a prospective and strategic of the environment and contribute to the harmonious development of the territories where we operate.

Compensation

Grupo SURA has a competitive compensation policy aimed at attracting and retaining top talent, within the framework of the "Total Compensation" concept. This approach seeks to balance fixed remunerations, benefits, and short and long-term incentives for its employees, ensuring alignment with the company's strategy.

Verification of compensation data

    Variable compensation  

 

Annual compensation for top executives

Fixed: 60%
Variable: 40%

Variable compensation is part of the total compensation of the CEO and the Executive Committee. It is made up of short-term and long-term incentives, both tied to financial performance indicators and sustainability metrics. As of 2021, our sustainability goals have greater relevance in the evaluation in order to carry out a comprehensive review of compliance with the Company’s strategy.

In Grupo SURA, this compensation is paid as follows: 60% in cash and 40% in shares. For values generated in shares, a clause applies in which they are not made effective in the event of dismissal of the employee for issues related to fraud or fraudulent action.

Wage gap

Equal pay is guaranteed for the same level of position regardless of the gender of the person who occupies the level and position.

We have an increased salary policy in an equitable and transparent system for salary allocation.

Working conditions and benefits are the same for all employees regardless of level or gender. There is no wage discrimination.

32.92%  Global mean (average) raw gender pay gap Grupo SURA This gap is because women occupy positions in the company that receive lower salaries. Therefore, this figure shows vertical segregation (women are concentrated in lower-level positions, while men are concentrated in higher-level positions).

When analyzing the gap by position level, it is concluded that the gap is impacted by the number of male or female occupants at the levels and its historical evolution demonstrates the changes in the gender composition at each level.

Action plan to close gender pay gap

  • *Training on gender equality and unconscious bias

Provide training to employees and pay decision makers (leaders) on gender equality and unconscious bias. This helps raise awareness of gender biases and stereotypes that can influence salary and promotion decisions and foster a culture of equality and fairness.

  • * Review criteria in selection processes to mitigate gender biases, especially at manager and higher levels that may suggest a glass ceiling for women.
