We manage Talent
Our Model of Performance and Development is based on five principles and has two components: development and evaluation. This enables the potential of each individual to be identified, training needs to be diagnosed and is a critical factor of success in the development of our people.
We also have a program of internal mobility, the goal of which is for employees to acquire broad ranging skills and a wider knowledge of our business, while respecting the balance between personal and professional life. In 2020, the program grew by 116%, covering 9.3% of the organization.
With the support of the most highly thought of national and international partners, among which are universities, business schools, and consulting and technology companies, between 70 and 90% of employees take part in the NOS Campus activities, which have been a benchmark investment for the development and certification of critical competencies.
