People

Managing the Brisa Group has become increasingly complex, as a result of the greater diversification of its Mobility, Technology and Service Stations businesses. This has led to changes in people management needs, namely, greater autonomy for team leaders in the management of their teams, greater need to monitor the development of employees and greater management flexibility to accommodate the different needs of employees.

To better prepare our people for the future, we have developed a set of learning, optimizing performance and improved work-life balance solutions.

  • Work-life balance

    One of the distinctive values of Brisa's culture are its People. This is evident in the way in which the group promotes a healthy balance between the personal, family and professional lives of its employees.

    We are certain that this is the way to ensure happier employees and teams that are more cohesive, motivated and capable of generating value for companies, families and society.

    In this sense and through conscious practices, we have created a set of measures to allow employees to meet the needs of both their personal and family life, including:

    • Flexible working hours;
    • Resources for working remotely;
    • Education allowance for employees' children;
    • Paid family leave;
    • Childbirth support.

    These measures allow employees to attend to family responsibilities, without neglecting professional commitments, thus providing a better work-family balance. 

    The implementation of these measures and practices resulted in Brisa being awarded with the distinguished Family-Responsible Company certification, by the internationally renowned  Fundación Más Familia, a foundation dedicated to  work/life balance matters.

Training, development and value creation

We believe that the success of investment in training and development is measured by customer value creation and the professional and personal growth of our employees.

Thus, the continuous training of its employees is a priority and also a strategic opportunity. In this respect, we regularly invest in  technical and behavioral training and development programs for individuals and teams.

We have developed partnerships with the main schools, universities and training companies, creating programs dedicated to the future of work, namely on agile work methodologies, data science, digital acceleration, team leadership in a changing context, among others.

We promote facilitation of learning using different formats, based on an integrated learning platform, with solutions that adapt to different personal needs and realities, such as experiential and immersive training, gamification, blended learning, e-learning, among others.

We invest in qualifying our people for their jobs, namely in PhD and postgraduate courses, as well as other training in Portugal and abroad. Some of these qualifications include technical certifications as well as an academic degree.

  • Career, recognition and performance

    We argue that the growth of our people is strongly reinforced by gaining new experiences, facing new challenges, and learning from them.

    That is why we favor internal recruitment,  promoting job rotation in several business areas and between Brisa Group companies, creating challenging and constant career opportunities throughout our employees' life cycle.That is why we favor internal recruitment,  promoting job rotation in several business areas and between Brisa Group companies, creating challenging and constant career opportunities throughout our employees' life cycle.

    Whenever possible, we involve employees in multidisciplinary project teams, to accelerate and enhance  individual and team development.

    We also believe that strong results should be rewarded in a competitive way and efforts recognized.

    Thus, performance management plays a crucial role as an instrument for implementing the strategy and reinforcing the culture and evolution of the Brisa Group.

    Therefore, in order to promote greater autonomy in the management of people, we focus on a performance management system that allows for:

    • Greater recognition and differentiating performance, in line with the strategy and objectives;
    • An even greater focus on employees' individual development;
    • Greater agility in performance management due to its ease of use and simplicity;
    • Greater flexibility to accommodate different realities.
