82 Sustainability at PRISA In 2015, PRISA Campus, operational since May, was re-engineered following the standard set by the US edx.org platform, providing an improved user experience, a responsive design making it accessible remotely from any device, and enabling the monitoring of student work in a more detailed way. Online training has thus been enhanced over the year. Over the past nine months, the platform has reached the figure of 1,140 new students enrolled in various courses, including the second edition of the Masters in Advanced Digital Skills, an advanced user-centric course on Big Data and digital technological development, and a course on video, narrative and editing (multimedia journalism). The target set for 2016 is to gradually increase the number of courses to meet the most urgent needs detected in the organization, with a focus on three areas: • L1, developing management skills and teamwork; • L2, cross-corporate digital transformation; • L3, retraining of specific professional groups. Mi idea! is an open innovation platform aimed at getting all employees more involved by making suggestions, sharing ideas for improvement projects and even intellectual property patents. The number of users during the year was 4,331 and the number of spontaneous ideas proposed was 332. This tool is designed to identify both individual talent as well as any groundbreaking or disruptive new ideas that may emerge from any part of the organization. Moreover, the innovation departments and the Agents of Change of each business unit set challenges to encourage participation and thereby gather the seeds of ideas for projects that will improve all Group businesses. Factoría de Experiencia (FEX). The Experience Factory, launched in late 2013, is yet another initiative to boost the development of the collective intelligence of the Group through the identification of Technology and Competitive Intelligence Experts, who are responsible for providing crucial knowledge to employees throughout the organization. There is an online platform to which all employees have access. This platform hosts all the experience and knowledge gained from the most significant business, organizational and technology projects. The number of users has already reached 2,346 (and the number of knowledge items published is 81). Professional development The current job performance appraisal system is part of the annual variable compensation program, applicable across the company. It is a system of individual performance evaluation, whereby a performance appraisal of employees is carried out over a given period within the organization, based on a series of criteria depending on the functions of the job and the sector. In 2015, the percentage of employees subject to performance appraisal was 36%. Managing equality and diversity PRISA endorses, supports and promotes all policies that contribute to equal opportunities and non-discrimination based on race, gender, political or religious beliefs. In their daily management, Group companies strictly comply with these principles. It is worth reiterating that PRISA has adopted a Code of Ethics, mandatory for all employees, in which pluralism and respect for all ideas, cultures and people, are set out as the company’s core values. PRISA is committed to respecting and protecting human rights and civil liberties, with the chief objective being respect for human dignity.
