(103-1) Celsia is an organization that strives to be a stimulating, productive place to work and that cares for people. We know that great results are the fruit of the best energy of our employees to face the challenges every day. We create healthy work environments – in inclusive spaces – that foster constant dialogue. We accept and celebrate differences; we build trust and we have a less-hierarchical structure that inspires teamwork. At Celsia, we dare to be different.
(103-2) (103-3) Talent is the key piece to achieve each of the goals set in our MEGA. We have empowered work teams; we are constantly evolving and we adopt different models and practices, reflected in new areas of relationship with employee representatives, in personal and work wellness programs, and in strengthening leadership based on communication, all framed in the recognition of differences and respect in general.
Our Human Management Policy defines the guidelines that guide the Company’s performance in relation to employees. At Celsia, each person is clear about what to expect during their relationship with the Company in the most sensitive and closest matters to the performance of their role: from the attraction process, through the enjoyment of their breaks and vacations, to the moment of retirement with a pension.
