The industrial sector is in constant evolution, driven by technological advances, new regulations and a focus on sustainability. The level of demand is increased by the need to present tangible results, based on numbers, processes and deadlines. And although these are crucial indicators for assessing the effectiveness of a project, they often overlook a key element: the people who make things happen.

Much of our time is dedicated to our professional activity, our colleagues, our bosses and everything that makes up our working environment. Increasingly, we are facing a society full of socio-emotional issues, where our mental and physical well-being is called into question because of growing organizational demands. And so today, more than ever, we need a new way of acting, that prioritizes proximity, empathy and human development, putting people at the center of our decisions and actions.

‍

When we talk about closeness, we can't only consider a relationship based on periodic conversations or performance feedback, but rather open, transparent communication and active listening, to share thoughts, emotions, successes and failures. In addition, it is essential to maintain clear and assertive communication with our partners, aiming for long-term relationships based on commitment. By adopting this approach, we increase our ability to better understand the needs of our teams and partners, align expectations and strengthen mutual trust.

‍

In a sector connected to innovation, human development has become fundamental. We're talking about cultivating technical and socio-emotional skills, such as communication, leadership and resilience, which are essential for a successful organizational culture. By training our teams in these two pillars, we are making them more motivated and fulfilled, with a greater ability to turn everyday challenges, into opportunities.

‍

Embracing a stance based on proximity, humanity and development of each person is more than a trend, it’s a necessity. By following this approach, we strengthen our ability to tackle the challenges, of today, and build the future, of tomorrow.
