Abertis is also working to include disabled people on its workforce. The percentage of disabled people hired in Spain directly or through alternative means stands at 2%.
Professional development
The Group runs professional development programmes to strengthen and manage the talent of its professionals. In 2014, €5.1Mn were invested in training programmes rolled out to 84% of the workforce.
Furthermore, Abertis is working steadily to build and develop internal communications channels to provide fluid two-way contact with employees and make improvements on a daily basis.
The dedication of its professionals and good working environment is clearly reflected in the company’s ability to win the loyalty of its workforce and reduce turnover to a minimum, in line with its policy of retaining talent. Therefore, average seniority is very high.
93% of employees hold a permanent contract.
Social advantages
Abertis is also developing a social benefits policy for employees in order to foster a work-life balance. Measures for ensuring a work-life balance are one of the company’s priorities. Highlights include flexible working hours, increased paternity and maternity leave and other complementary measures such as the “pre-school voucher”.
Social benefits offered by Abertis to its employees included private health insurance, life and accident insurance, pension plans, salary complements, retirement benefits, assistance for employees with disabled children and assistance for buying school books, etc.
