Roles and Job Descriptions
The Job Descriptions, the descriptions of each type of task, clearly present and explain all the corporate roles, including the workflow and the corporate ladder.
Skill Mapping
Skills mapping is a useful tool for the assessment of training needs for each position and for monitoring the actual effectiveness of the training. Every two years all the managers fill in a survey for each member of staff that they supervise, together with the Human Resource Department. Soft skills are monitored at the same time so as to improve those such as communication, team building, problem-solving, etc.
Training Catalogue
The training catalogue is used by managers to plan the training for their staff, jointly with the Human Resources Department, taking into account their specific roles and training needs. It is split into ten main topics: Safety&Security, Quality&Compliance, Information and Communication Technology, Languages, Production, Engineering, Technical, Sales, Soft Skills, Cross.
Training Maintenance
This involves long-term planning of the training needed to maintain staff skills in line with their role and entails continuous adaptation of individual skills to the evolution of the business. This planning respects the right of individuals to follow a personalised training programme.
I Master
I’MA Potential is the first Master, targeting new recruits, whose main objective is to develop and improve their abilities to ensure that they are properly prepared for their role: here one learns to transform the capacities already acquired into practical and professional skills.
I’MA Talent is the second Master and targets our more ambitious senior employees: it focuses on the development of top managerial skills. Both IMA Masters have been created to raise our employees’ professional capacities to a higher level.
