Celsia Culture

Talent Attraction and Retention

Our Talent Attraction and Retention Strategy allows us to have employees who are personally and professionally committed.

GRI (103-1) Having happy, committed and trained employees in their jobs is the best way to turn our clients into true fans.  For this reason, at Celsia we dare to be different; we embrace diversity and design strategies to attract, develop and retain human talent, in which we include tools that promote inclusion, where opportunities and working conditions transcend gender gaps and are the same for all our employees, for whom we permanently improve their working conditions and environment.

GRI (103-2) Improving the quality of life of our human talent and their families in this time of so much uncertainty is the purpose of our Employee Experience Programs, as we are convinced of the power that transformation has for our society and – ultimately – for our Organization, where the Celsia culture is felt and lived in each space, and it is one of our differentiating factors in the market.  We focus on generating memorable moments for our employees, from their incorporation process to the Company, making sure that everyone lives our culture on a daily basis.  We work hard to make Celsia a great place to work, in order to attract the talent we need to achieve the Company’s goals.

Celsia culture is based on four pillars, which are present in our DNA and which we live daily:

We dare to be different
We are agile and reliable.
We give our best to grow together
• Disfrutamos haciendo la vida más fácil.
We enjoy making life easier
GRI (103-3)

We develop data analytics in the talent-attraction process, in order to have information that allows us to make real-time projections and improvements in the selection process.

We designed and developed the in-house Fit Cultural test; we executed the pilot and aligned it with Summa, the Shared-Services Center for the companies that make up Grupo Argos.

We accompanied Summa in the restructuring project of the Shares-Services Center, which most of the selection processes are carried out, at the level of Specialists and Technicians.

We increased compliance with the indicators associated with the processes of diversity, inclusion, promotion and the development of our personnel.

We increased filling vacancies with internal candidates. This shows us that promotion and development opportunities are active for our employees.

We encouraged and rewarded leadership through the Orange Leader Contest, seeking – with this initiative – that the most-outstanding employees be nominated for being an example of the Celsia culture, with key characteristics that reflect our leadership style.
