IN MEXICO THE RENEWAL OF OUR OFFICES, THROUGH ECO: COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACES, WHICH HELP TO UNDERSCORE THE VISION OF THE COMPANY WE WANT TO BE: OPEN TO COLLABORATION AMONG AREAS AND TEAMWORK TO DRIVE PRODUCTIVITY.
We implemented a new means of free personal assistance -Integrated Assistance Program- wherein our associates and their families may receive advice in matters pertaining to psychological, financial and legal issues.
This year we also launched GoIntegro, an app that offers 849 special agreements that are available to our associates and their families, with money-saving benefits that further their quality of life.
The Flexible Work Week Program for staff associates consists of adjusted work hours from Monday to Thursday so that Friday afternoons are free. In addition we have made the dress code at work more flexible for all associates, to create an open, comfortable workspace that respects everyone.
Postnatal leave for staff mothers allows them to gradually integrate back to work during the first 7 months of their baby’s life; regarding fathers, paternal leave fosters integration with the new member of the family by allowing these men to work a reduced schedule (6 hours) during the first month after birth of their child. Thanks to these initiatives, at December 31, 2016, 75% of associates who benefited from this new policy, returned to work after completing their maternal or paternal leave. G4-LA3
For the second consecutive year, Family Day celebration was held where, staff associates were invited to spend a special day with their family members, thus generating a greater sense of belonging. In Central America, this initiative was extended to include Distribution Centers and Agro-industrial Development Plants.
