80 Sustainability at PRISA Both recruitment and training policy throughout the Group are focused on finding and training those employee profiles that are required for the digital transformation in which we are immersed. This, coupled with the commitment of our professionals, is again reflected in a voluntary turnover rate of 6.8%.

Note: in the US there are no defined minimum salaries for this type of activity. New hires represent 11% of total workforce, of which 5.7% are men and 5.6% women. The number of new hires was notable in: Spain with a rate of 8%, Brazil 18%, Colombia 21% and Mexico 19%, as a per- centage of the total workforce in each country. In addition to the Group’s own workforce, the very nature of our activity generates indirect employment through the recruitment of a large number of collaborators, freelancers and professional services, with Spain, Chile and Northern Central American nations being the countries with the highest number of such collaborators. At Santillana, for example, collaborators provide support in content development and sales management; at PRISA Noticias, collaborators are active in the newsroom, in translation, web development, photography and illustration. Meanwhile, the broad geographic scope of our company means that the Group’s companies believe in strict respect for the basic labor rights as recognized by the International Labor Organization, especially in issues related to equality and non-discrimination on the basis of sex, ideology or beliefs. The Group also complies with the labor laws and collective agreements of the country in which each company operates. In each of these countries, the initial starting salary for new workers at PRISA exceeds the local minimum wage. We also encourage not only the hiring but also the promotion of locally sourced managers so that all countries where we operate boast a high percentage of local team leaders and managers. All our staff, except for senior management, are subject to collective labor agreements in each of their companies.
