Human Resources
In order to improve our efficiency le-
vels, the quality of our activities and the
development of skills in the communi-
ties affected, the company has focused
on the long-term development of our
service providers.
This is done by implementing syste-
matic controls according to our quality
standards, favouring self-governance in
central issues such as medium and
long-term planning and developing
specific skills for the tasks carried out.
All forestry activities are currently con-
tracted out, as are some of the nursery,
timber extraction and harvesting activi-
ties.
The company has practical guides
and human resources tools to ensure the
proper management of people and com-
pliance with legal requirements in terms
of employment standards, working
conditions and safety. For this, the com-
pany has monitoring systems that are
applied both to its own staff and its
hired staff.
UPM Forestal Oriental understands
that the development of people and
their skills forms the basis for conti-
nuous improvement, for adding value to
our processes and for being economica-
lly viable and socially beneficial in the
long-term. This is why courses, work-
shops and lectures are held throughout
the year in order to train staff in the
various areas of competence.
As part of our development pro-
gramme, the case study method was
implemented at the Forest Academy
from 2014 onwards. This new version
seeks to ensure that we can generate
new learning by analysing situations or
real events that have taken place at the
company. The purpose is to learn from
the mistakes made and to identify op-
portunities for improvement that can be
implemented in the different company
processes.
