The development, integration and motivation of our employees is the main goal of our human resources policy. The main lines of work are:

promoting stable and quality employment
ensuring occupational health and safety
social dialogue
training and professional development
ensuring equal opportunities and work life balance
promotion of corporate volunteering

Red Eléctrica´s commitment to employees materializes in activities such as:

Equal opportunities, diversity and reconciliation. In 2009, within the framework of Red Concilia project, a specific policy regarding the work-life balance was approved and a management system was implemented which allows the work-life balance needs of employees to be met within the framework of the objectives and activity of the company. In 2010, Red Eléctrica received the award for equality granted by the Ministry of Health, Social Policy and Equality.
Operation and Maintenance Schools. One of the major contributions to the professional development of the organisation's employees has been that contributed by the technical training schools of Red Eléctrica. This training has been conceived not only for teaching new employees, but also for the ongoing training and updating of knowledge of the rest of company's technicians. Throughout 22010, almost 101,500 hours of training were given.
Integration of the disabled. Family Plan. aimed at relatives of employees with disabilities continues to offer activities that facilitate their integration into the world of work and society. Agreements have also been signed with the Adecco Foundation for the integration of the disabled, contracting services from the Juan XXIII Foundation and Apsuria Foundation or taking part in the Employment Fairs for the Disabled.
EnREDando, corporate volunteer group. During 2010, activities were carried out geared towards education, fair trade and support for underprivileged groups: Campaign to aid Haiti's earthquake victims, Solidarity Integration Day, Christmas Gift Solidarity Campaign or Campaigns for food donations.
