OUR TEAM BY TIMETABLE
(31/12/2020)
In 2021 we have increased the workforce by 3.9%. 100% of our staff work full time.
Lean culture is the base of our collaborators’ personal and professional development. It determines the way we resolve the daily challenges of our organization.
Talent attraction is related to the expectations of new generations in terms of how a company works and the positive social and environmental impact it can have, as well as the incorporation of young people into technical degree programmes and training courses. ELIX works to recruit and retain talent internally through training programmes and continuous feedback, and externally through partnerships with research centres, universities and high schools.
ELIX Polymers promotes the personal and professional development of its collaborators through the LEAN philosophy. LEAN is a method of improvement and continuous learning based on a series of values, principles and techniques that help to strengthen our management processes, and at the same time, promote the development of our team of professionals.
