Votorantim\u2019s Center of Excellence is made up of centers specialized in information technology, finance, accounting and taxes, human resources, real estate solutions, innovation and data use (analytics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agility and a sound relationship of trust among its approximately 800 employees enabled the CoE to adapt to new ways of working and communicating in the face of the pandemic. As a result, the CoE not only maintained its ongoing operations but also achieved productivity gains that were passed on to the portfolio companies. 102-6<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people management activities conducted during the pandemic were detailed in the case study \u201cGetting the job done: caring for and connecting with the team during the pandemic\u201d, which received the Ser Humano<\/em> Award, promoted by the Brazilian Human Resources Association of Paran\u00e1 state (Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Brasileira de Recursos Humanos do Paran\u00e1, <\/em>ABRH-PR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, the CoE also continued its diversity activities. Promoted mainly by a Diversity Committee, the discussions have increased knowledge of diversity issues and resulted in changes in attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this effort, the CoE hired and promoted a total of five women to management positions (at the end of the year, 48% of all leaders were women), accelerated the hiring of People with Disabilities (PWD) and contributed to the redesign of the Internship Program selection process, carried out in partnership with a consulting firm specialized in diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
