GRUPO POCHTECA

A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY

G4-LA10, G4-DMA TRAINING AND EDUCATION
Training and evaluation

At Pochteca we are aware that talent development is of fundamental importance to fulfill the company’s objectives. To that end the company has diverse tools for managing personnel abilities and development.

Pochteca Virtual University (UVP)

The Pochteca Virtual University (abbreviated as UVP in Spanish), was launched at Pochteca in 2010, and was later redesigned for more functionality. Its characteristics allow us to:

  • Create certified training plans that provide each associate with a clear view of his or her trajectory in company training programs.
  • Link documents uploaded by the various departments to pochtecaNET, thereby allowing everyone to acquire the version of each department document that is most up to date.
  • Manage online both classroom and e-learning course work.
  • Generate the documentation needed for the legal requirements of the Ministry of Labor and Social Provision and for any audits.
  • Assure that the promotion of our associates is done in a way that benefits their own development.
  • Allow people to decide when and where to spend time on their e-learning courses within the time period designated for the entire course, whether or not they are connected to the company’s intranet network.

CoastalFlix

CoastalFlix is part of a strategic alliance with a leading chemical products company that we entered into in 2015, and will be implemented in 2016.

The program’s fundamental purpose is to establish a permanent campaign to raise awareness and sensibility, educate and train all company employees in matters of safety, care of the environment and the community using videos and related testing in both classroom and online courses.

Onboarding

Since 2015 it has been implemented with the company’s sales force along with mentors, who act as facilitators from the moment a new employee joins the company until he or she becomes initially adjusted to the processes. It allows each person in a relatively short period of time to be able to conduct his or her responsibilities in an autonomous manner.
