At Sanitas, we work not only to improve the lives and health of our customers, we do so by caring for our people first. To this end, we focus on taking care of the well-being of our employees and fostering the creation of healthy working environments that help them perform in optimal conditions. It is with this in mind that we work every day at the company's People department.
Elena Juárez,
CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER AT SANITAS AND BUPA EUROPE & LATIN AMERICA
Our employees are at the foundation of our culture
Our employees are at the foundation of Sanitas’ culture. As they are one of the main pillars, the company is committed to helping them grow and develop in the best work environment.
The Blue Way
Our way of working focuses on corporate culture, promoting flexibility, data-driven decision making and sustainable mobility.
Training and digitalisation
At Sanitas, there is a clear commitment to employee training. We rely on the advantages provided by digitalisation to help employees with different training methods, and to improve flexibility to meet the needs of each individual.
We promote the best talent
At Sanitas, we draw upon the latest technologies to offer our employees a wide range of options for further training and adapting to new digital requirements, which helps us achieve digital transformation. Some of the major projects in this field are:
Other projects
Intrapreneurship
Sanitas employees’ in-depth knowledge of the business is the best source of internal innovation. They can use this programme to propose ideas that help improve processes and services.
Bupa Learn
A more accessible and personalised corporate digital training platform that helps Sanitas employees develop their skills and abilities, regardless of their location.
ELA Leadership Program
A cross-cutting leadership programme within Sanitas and Bupa that combines business knowledge (Strategic Talks), methodologies and skills development (Experiential Workshops) and professional challenges that affect teams, projects, issues and decisions (Co-Development Sessions). Nearly 50 leaders from all 10 ELA regions have already taken part.
The Power Business School
The partnership with the Power Business School offers Sanitas and Bupa employees access to different courses providing a 360-degree vision of different areas such as business, innovation, marketing, digital, leadership and sales.
B-Disruptive
Without having to be experts in data or technology, Sanitas employees had the opportunity to take part in this 48-hour Hackathon with colleagues from other countries to share innovative ideas and contribute to the transforming future of the company.
Digitalisation of the Onboarding Process
The entire onboarding process has been digitised in order to improve the employee’s experience during their first weeks in the company.
Young Talent Program
This year, Sanitas has implemented a programme to incorporate students and recent graduates into the company to help them boost their professional career and make the most of their valuable contribution in all business areas. In the last few years, recruiting healthcare profiles has become increasingly difficult. To address this challenge, Sanitas has developed different programmes such as Talent Return in order to identify key profiles for the company and hire them.
A diverse, inclusive and equitable environment
GRI 3-3; 405-1
Sanitas is strongly committed to equality and inclusion. Proof of this is that 79% of employees are women. These values are reflected not only in the number of female employees, but also in our culture.
We promote equality
GRI 3-3; 405-1
The Equality Plan at Sanitas provides a clear guide that leads us through the path, which we embarked on long ago: to ensure equal opportunities in all our activities, in an equitable manner without discrimination on the basis of gender, beliefs, social status or other personal circumstances.
We promote wage policies
At Sanitas, we are convinced that a work-life balance is essential for our employees. We have implemented specific measures in order to reduce the gender pay gap. This way, we also implement a culture to build equal and inclusive work environments.
We embrace inclusion
GRI 3-3; 405-1
These actions are mainly aimed at people with disabilities. Sanitas complies with the Law on Social Integration of People with Disabilities (LISMI), with 2.8% of employees with disabilities. We do this in two ways. One is by hiring directly. The second is through labour integration companies or special employment centres. In addition, as stated in our Code of Conduct, we take equal opportunities and non-discrimination very seriously, as well as the adaptation of our facilities and work spaces to people with disabilities.
We have employees from more than 50 different nationalities
GRI 3-3; 405-1
We strongly believe that diversity enriches the entire Sanitas team and culture, so having more than 50 different nationalities is a source of wealth for everyone. Diversity also fosters a more creative and innovative work environment.
