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.
