Training
Despite the difficult economic situation in which Mediaset
España operates and the cost control this requires,
the Company continued to focus on the training of its
professionals, reflecting its recognition of the added value
provided by its employees and their fundamental role in
the business model.
In general terms, the training policy at Mediaset España is
geared to meeting requirements for technical qualifications
and competence, both of which are necessary for good
working performance and the employee’s professional
development. The training programmes conducted (by
attendance, number of groups and training hours) include
those related to the handling of the technical equipment
acquired, updating office tools, the development of
management skills, the development of management
skills, language training and training in occupational risk
prevention.
In order to ensure the quality of the training and its
continuous improvement, the degree of employee
satisfaction regarding the training received is measured
through the completion of questionnaires upon the
completion of the training programmes. The results
have endorsed the quality of the training provided. In
programmes for updating or increasing knowledge of
technical legislation, a system of knowledge assessment
has been implemented through the relevant tests. In
addition, regular meetings are held with those responsible
for the assessment and detection of future training
needs. At the end of each quarter the company analyses
the objectives already identified in this area, progress
achieved and actions taken to meet the objectives, and
identifies the initiatives to be developed during the next
quarter.
