During 2021, we at ROADIS worked on the deployment of our new cultural model (which was defined the previous year). Going beyond geographical boundaries, we have connected all our teams in the different countries where we currently operate. Our culture defines our essence and constitutes our organisation’s personality.
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 is based on our brand’s 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 in 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.
Technology development over the last few years has made great contributions to the world of productive labour, but at the same time it has promoted hyper-connectivity, which is a threat to the employees’ rest and personal & family harmony.
To counter this risk, we at ROADIS developed a specific policy to protect the “right to disconnect” of our teams of collaborators.
One of our commitments at ROADIS is to develop talent. Therefore, in 2021 we continued working with ROADIS University. A place where our employees access continued training in the areas of their interest. More than 750 hours of training have been provided through this platform this year, which undoubtedly contributes to the professional and personal development of our team.
Thanks to advances in vaccination and the progressive de-escalation of restrictions, in 2021 we were able to bring back some internal events. With special enthusiasm, and with a focus on health and sport, we have resumed, after two years, the "ROADIS Mini-Olympics". In this sports teambuilding event we have the opportunity to strengthen our bonds as a team while doing physical and mental exercise.
At ROADIS we are committed to our professional staff, this is why the easyworking programme continues helping promote the balancing of work and family life. In this manner, we want to continue adapting to the new era and promoting the well-being of our colleagues.
