Our teams are our main asset. People who contribute every day with their experience and professionalism to help us conduct our business with the highest standards in terms of quality and sustainability.
Our team relies on 2,140 professionals who make up the ROADIS family, spread across Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Brazil, India and Colombia.
After defining our cultural model in previous years, in 2022 we rolled out this same model across all our business units and territories, to unite all the people who make up the teams under the same model of corporate values. We develop in detail the beliefs that define our essence, constitute the personality of our organisation and make our work unique:
- We are trustworthy
- We work with passion
- We work for people
- 4 We are a team
- We strive for excellence
- We try, learn and grow
Throughout 2022, we held work sessions in each business unit to further these beliefs. We also launched a social platform, where we posed different challenges to internalize our culture and we shared experiences, activities and achievements to promote interaction between teams and cultural exchange.
Our purpose is to create value in the communities where we operate through profitable investments and the operation of major infrastructure projects around the world.
This purpose relies on our four essential attributes:
Prosperity
Through our projects, we create sustainable value where we operate. Respecting the environment, we promote economic development and social growth, creating jobs and facilitating connectivity.
Safety
We develop infrastructure projects that are safe for our employees and customers.
Ethics
We invest and manage projects under the strictest ethical principles. Our investors and shareholders, officers, users, and employees trust us.
Innovation
Our work is the result of a relentless search for excellence and the drive for innovation. Excellence and innovation go hand in hand in the way we approach our business, our processes and policies.
Retaining and developing talent is one of our commitments. Which is why in 2022, we contributed to the team's personal and professional growth through the Leader's Anatomy programme, which promotes the skills that turn them into leaders; and the Talent Cycle Scheme, a series of annual projects on their performance, evolution and potential. We also continued learning on ROADIS University: a space where we can find training in our areas of interest.
In 2022, we continued to implement the measures laid out in our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Programme to guarantee equal treatment and opportunities for men and women, and to promote a business culture committed to diversity and inclusion. As part of this commitment, we did a Remuneration Benchmarking to analyse the remunerative conditions and salary bands, both within and outside ROADIS, by comparing our position with similar companies in the sector.
To guarantee the right of every employee at the company to balance their professional, personal and family life, regardless of their seniority, we continued to expand the EASYWORKING programme to make telework more flexible.
We collected the team's feedback on the work environment in our offices through the Climate Survey, with the aim of developing measures that continue to improve professional relationships. We also launched a Wellness working group with members from different departments to think about new initiatives that can promote the well-being of all employees.
