THE IBERSOL GROUP
IBERSOL TRAINING, A SCHOOL FOR LIFE
Ibersol’s business is people-based and it is thus vital for
our people to be properly qualified to ensure our success.
Ibersol is strongly committed to training our employees,
each and every day and from day one.
In a scenario of hard economic times, in which consum-
ers have seen their purchasing power eroded and are
thus become ever more demanding in the products and
services they choose, employee training has become
even more important. By strengthening this training,
Ibersol aims to improve the quality of service provided
and keep its place in the vanguard of excellence.
Everyone at Ibersol Group has training in health and
safety, product and service standards to ensure that
meals are served by conscientious workers with the
taste that customers appreciate.
Ibersol emphasizes training programmes at each career
stage, thereby helping its management teams to devel-
op the knowledge and skills needed to perform their
duties, duly aligned with the applicable management
guidelines. These programmes enable access to higher
career levels and encompass not just initial certification
for the function covered but also periodic recertification
to assure that the skills acquired remain in place.
In addition to training to improve its operational effi-
ciency, the Group seeks to broaden the horizon of its
employees, encouraging them to take active part in a
Career Building Programme and in others enabling
them to obtain specific qualifications.
Career building is considered a process to develop and
support vocational educational in a working environ-
ment, furthering our employees’ development by offer-
ing advancement opportunities that allow them to take
on various duties within the organization.
This formula enables on-the-job training and also cov-
ers the staff qualification programme, designated by
the Group as the Ibersol School, which promotes aca-
demic qualification, specifically by:
– developing skills in participants that enable them to ap-
ply strategies and actions that meet the Ibersol Group’s
development needs;
– promoting career development within the Group;
– enhancing the academic qualification of programme
participants.
AN ACTIVE APPROACH TO RESOURCES
MANAGEMENT AND RESPECT FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT
Controlling costs is also a process of reinvention and
change.
A rethink must be conducted of teams, energy con-
sumption, consumables, products and waste, above all
to inculcate a drive to rethink processes and change the
way of doing things. This approach has led the group to
redefine the employee profile, optimizing management
of time, processes and resources.
That’s why the Ibersol Group continues consolidating
policies on good practices for resource management,
specifically in energy consumption, with clear benefi-
cial results.
This policy has positive collateral effects, as awareness
of the need to adopt measures for rational use of elec-
tricity lead to those measures being extended to other
types of consumption.
An excellent example of this sustainable approach is the
Used Food Oil Recycling Programme, in tandem with
the biodiesel industry.
