« In a competitive environment of complex projects and technological change, Ansaldo STS can rise to challenges by relying essentially on people. Therefore our success depends on our capacity to work together, to share information and to count on diverse expertises, be they directly related to the project (hardware, software, signalling, systems management, industrialization etc.) or transversal skills (Quality, Safety, Purchasing, I.T. etc.).
Developping employees and their skills is fundamental for the company competitiveness and its growth targets. Strengthening internal mobility is also essential to work better together and take creative and efficient initiatives.
Recruitment, training and mobility are all levers for HR management, line management and the employees themselves to take up this challenge.. Encouraging people to listen and offering a clear picture of the in-house career paths and opportunities, will encourage all employees to drive their own professional development in the short- and medium-term. »
Catherine PORRET
Human Resources Director, ANSALDO STS France
Operating on a highly competitive and technologically innovative export market, Ansaldo STS is faced with the need to broaden its core business and markets.
Professional mobility is considered to be an important means of developing both the company and its employees, through the acquisition of new skills and a better understanding of different cultures and complexity.
A number of initiatives have been taken for the employees to express their preferences:
- Job marketplace on the intranet site
- Individual job reviews with line managers
- Career development reviews with HR management
- Career committee (Resource management committee)
- The COLUMBUS programme for exchanges between companies
- as technical specialists (systems, signalling, industrial IT, planning, quality, operating safety)
- in project management (responsibility for lots or projects)
- in cross-functional entities (support functions - purchasing, management control, planning, sales, etc.)
When employees make a significant career change or are transferred, they can benefit from the training on offer as part of the training plan, or from coaching and support in their new job.
