Being committed on a daily basis
Ethics and sustainable development are now fashionable concepts, but Prolival has endorsed them a long time ago.
As such, we believe in a pro-active careers management for our employees and in massive investment in training. An average of 7% of the payroll is dedicated, over the years, to training our staff, which is a lot more than what is legally required.
This on-going investment in training is the key to make sure our clients have the most effective people available; it is also vital for our staff who thus have career evolution perspectives and ways to diversify their jobs.
Managing our work forces this way results in employee loyalty, proved by a low turnover rate of 5%, which is significantly less than the average for IT Services companies.
We also guarantee equal opportunities for all our employees. We respect individual rights and private life; we are also dedicated to protect the confidentiality of all information we may retain about them.
We strongly condemn all forms of discrimination, during recruitment phases as well as during our employees’ time in the company. We value the opinion of our staff, on an individual basis or through employee representatives, on all the subjects relevant to them.
We try to take advantage of the cultural diversity of our employees. We do encourage the usage of everyone’s skills, and their knowledge of local culture, as a way to be the most efficient in our jobs.
Protecting our staff or anyone we happen to work with is one of our main targets. On matters of hygiene, health and safety, we encourage and put into action all the required procedures and best practices. We are committed to continuously improving our performances in this area.
We are also committed to fighting against all forms of corruption. All our actions must be driven by concerns for reliability, trust and fairness. Our main goals must be to satisfy or exceed legal requirements, honour our contractual obligations and avoid conflicts of interest. We commit ourselves to produce accurate internal data, and preserve the confidentiality and safety of this information. We are committed to communicating internally and externally, in an open manner.
Sustainable development is also about preserving our environment. We try to do this on a daily basis: use of recycled paper, low-energy light bulbs, regular renewal of our vehicle fleet, etc. These small gestures are regularly promoted on our intranet website, by our Communication Manager, who has put sustainable development at the forefront of internal communication.
