Personal and professional development

To promote the training of its employees, BB Foundation grants scholarships for higher education, languages and the incentive to obtain professional certification. In 2020, 18 scholarships were awarded.

Employees are also encouraged to take internal and external courses and training, so as to obtain internal knowledge certificates that are made available through the corporate university platform - UniBB. The annual training target for each employee is 40 hours with mandatory courses. Managers also meet a specific goal for courses aimed at the performance of their duties.

All employees carry out evaluations and are evaluated through a performance and competence management system that measures the contribution of each employee, based on the relationship between professional performance and the competencies necessary to fulfill their function.

In line with the strategic objectives of the Five-Year Strategic Plan (PEQ 2019-2023) and also to accompany the emerging changes and the evolution of the people management theme, BB Foundation developed actions and programs aimed at the development of its employees and its leadership, the provision of subsidies to maximize operational efficiency, the organizational climate and culture, knowledge management, the culture of innovation and strategic intelligence.

Employees and the pandemic

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, BB Foundation realized the need to adjust the way its employees work, in order to protect them from being infected by the new coronavirus and without affecting the conduct of supported projects and programs. Therefore, the remote work (home office) regime was adopted, which was made possible through the timely adoption of various measures, such as the review and digitization of internal processes, the availability of software for remote operations, the adoption of instruments for electronic signatures and the equipment loaning (notebook, keyboard, mouse, monitor, chair) to employees.

In addition to the support provided to employees infected by Covid-19, an extensive survey was carried out in conjunction with CIPA - Comissão Interna de Prevenção de Acidentes (Internal Commission for Accident Prevention), among all BB Foundation employees addressing the issue of safety and quality of life in remote work, which generated inputs for the adoption of initiatives such as virtual lectures on the employees' ergonomics, information security and mental health.
