People and Management

The aim of every company is to grow, to develop, and to achieve its main objectives.

At Estre we believe that this is only possible when each member of the staff is also making an effort to learn new things, to develop skills and to overcome challenges. Estre has a range of training programs for this purpose, to motivate the staff to work as a team, so that they may all contribute to achieving the company’s goals.

One of these is the People Cycle, based on pillars such as the Individual Development Plan (PDI), a set of actions intended to align individual development with the company’s strategy; another is the Executive Bonus and Profit Sharing Program (PPR), which sets rules for Estre’s variable compensation model. There is also the Green Belt Project, a certification to enable professionals to undertake projects using a structured method which will bring substantial returns for the company.

And there are other programs for staff training, not only to enable them to devote their best talents to the company, but also to give them an awareness of their own potential. They include courses for operations coordinators, an operational excellence program, the PROA Institute, Goals Circuit and Time for Learning.
