Onboarding
With our effective onboarding process, Befesa helps you to quickly feel part of the team, better understand your role and our company culture, and increase your productivity and performance.
Befesa believes with a good onboarding experience we can engage you directly from the beginning.
Therefore, we established a process to ensure that you have a great first experience with us at Befesa. Besides all of the equipment that will be ready for you on your first day, you will receive our Welcome Book that includes our Code of Conduct, our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Policy and much more information.
To make sure your onboarding was successful, we ask for your feedback after 3-4 months. If you are doing an internship or apprenticeship with us, you will receive our feedback form after just 2 months.
Of course, your supervisor’s feedback is also very important to us, so they will receive our online questionnaire at the same time as you.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
An ever-changing environment requires permanently up-to-date knowledge. Being fully aware of this, Befesa runs every year a training needs analysis. All managers are asked to include the necessary training for their team members.
Befesa’s training plan is not the only means of identifying improvement opportunities for employees. Our annual assessment process, which analyses the strategic competencies that are important to the company. This allows us to both assess the development of these skills and, through open-ended questions, identify which skills can be improved through specific actions.
The same process also helps us to detect employees with the potential to take on new responsibilities that will ensure the company is always prepared to cover any vacancies, when required.
A vital element of the Annual Evaluation Process is the feedback the supervisor gives to the employee being appraised, which can be used to establish a personal improvement plan. In this conversation, the development of the person and how Befesa can support this development is key.
In addition, every Befesa facility also has her own evaluation process for the production employees.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
Befesa has a competitive, market-compatible remuneration system based on professionalism and that is in line with the principle of equality. It does not tolerate any type of discrimination based on personal, physical or social differences, nor does it permit inequalities in our employees’ remuneration or chances of promotion.
The system combines a fixed retribution in function of responsibilities, variable retribution tied in with the company’s results and various other benefits.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Befesa is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace where every individual is valued and empowered to thrive. Befesa actively works to eliminate all forms of discrimination and create an environment that respects and celebrates differences.
Building on its ongoing commitment, Befesa updated its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Policy once again in 2024, ensuring it remains aligned with evolving social dynamics and the company’s unique culture. This policy is accessible to all employees, available in multiple languages, displayed on plant noticeboards, and published on the company intranet. You can find our DEI policy here.
To reinforce its DEI principles, all employees participate in annual mandatory compliance training. Additionally, each year, Befesa offers various online training sessions, providing opportunities to deepen understanding and engagement with diversity, equity, and inclusion topics. Befesa’s DEI values are embedded in every stage of its Human Resources processes, from recruitment and onboarding to training and career development.

FACTS AND FIGURES
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Through numerous CSR initiatives, Befesa actively engages with local communities and encourages employees to participate in charity events. These efforts not only benefit the community but also cultivate stronger social bonds within the organization.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY INITIATIVES
Charity Project Contest
The Charity Contest has been organised every year since 2018. It offers a unique opportunity to propose meaningful projects from NGOs, aimed at supporting social causes and making a positive impact in the communities where the company operates. Participants can submit project ideas, which are then voted on to determine the initiatives that resonate most strongly. The projects with the highest number of votes receive generous contributions from the company, empowering organisations to further their missions and bring about lasting positive change in these communities.
Chair of Autism at the University of Seville
Many of the initiatives are focused on supporting individuals with disabilities. A key example is Befesa’s sponsorship of the Chair of Autism at the University of Seville. This initiative aims to promote education and interdisciplinary research related to autism spectrum disorders, with the goal of improving understanding and developing better support systems for individuals with autism.
Befesa Runs! Wings for Life World Run
Wings for Life World Run is a global race with a unique twist: instead of a finish line, participants are chased by a “Catcher Car” that starts moving after they begin. The car gradually speeds up, and each runner’s race ends once they’re overtaken. This format allows people of all fitness levels to participate and go as far as they can.
All entry fees and donations go directly to spinal cord research through the Wings for Life Foundation, making the event a major fundraiser for finding a cure for spinal cord injuries. Employees and their families are invited to join the team. Befesa covers the registration fee for family members and increases its donation from €1 to €5 for every kilometer run or walked.
Befesa On the Move Step-Challenge
An initiative to promote a healthy lifestyle is the Befesa on the Move Challenge. It is a month-long step-counting competition. Employees are encouraged to walk as much as possible, with the goal of becoming “Step Masters.” The initiative aims to promote a healthier lifestyle, foster team spirit, and support social causes.
Befesa companies compete by calculating the average steps per participant, creating a fair competition regardless of company size. More participants and more steps mean a higher chance of winning.
The winning company not only enjoys improved well-being but also donates a significant amount to a local NGO and receives a team breakfast as a reward.
