Organizational Culture

In 2018, the Algar group underwent a process of evolution of its organizational culture, to strengthen cultural traits that will allow us to grow in a permanent and sustainable way. In order to define the attributes to be followed by the employees, rounds of discussions were held throughout the year 2018 with the participation of employees from all hierarchical levels.  

As a result, four attributes were defined. Each one has two associated behaviors, which consider fundamental aspects for the evolution to a more digital, simple and connected mindset, and which reflects our focus on growth coupled with innovation and the application of agile methodologies to provide the best environment for employees and the best customer service experience:

Enduring
> Delivers what it promises and makes choices that guarantee execution.
> Manages the risks and opportunities of our business.


Reliable
> Practices the necessary conversations with a focus on what is best for Algar.
> Cultivates the open environment in which everyone feels heard and considered.


Agile
> Makes decision with autonomy and responsibility.
> Simplifies towards agility.


Innovative
> Acts in a customer-oriented/market-oriented way and focuses on profitability.
> Misacts fast, corrects him/herself fast and learn.


At the beginning of 2019, the cultural evolution plan was presented to all Company leaders and a cascading plan was established for all employees to know the attributes, their importance and the impacts on the Company’s routine.
