Commitments and future challenges Sustainability at PRISA 107 Sustainability Report 2014 In 2013, not a single instance has been detected that required a diagnosis of the risks of discrimination. Social benefits It is Group policy to provide companies with adequate resources so as to offer employment benefits that will be sufficiently attractive to the very best professionals. It is worth noting that PRISA operates in 22 countries and has more than three hundred companies. Each market in which it operates has special characteristics to which Human Resource Management Policy must be sensitive and thereby be in a position to offer an appropriate response to both the needs and the expectations of the professionals joining these companies. Within this framework, in 2012 we designed a flexible benefits and remuneration program, implemented in Spain, which in 2013 has been broadened and improved. Portugal has followed suit and employees there now have daycare and school vouchers. The objective of this plan is to allow our employees to select their benefits in accordance with their real needs and to thereby potentially increase their net remuneration. In 2014, it is planned to extend the scheme to all business units and Group companies in Spain. Flexibility measures PRISA’s companies have come to understand the very real benefits of offering balanced work days that provide an optimum balance for our staff’s professional and personal lives. Many of our companies offer employees flexible work days, home working, and the possibility of working intensive shifts in summer, at Christmas and Easter. Additionally, in Spain, during 2013, these measures favoring a balance between work and personal life have been maintained, with the plan consisting of four elements: ƒƒ Special voluntary leave with guaranteed readmission, financial benefits and social security contributions. ƒƒ Longer annual holiday with financial benefits and social security contributions. ƒƒ Longer weekend (4-day working weeks) while maintaining social security contributions. ƒƒ Leave for training with help to cover costs as well as social security contributions. Workplace health and safety Throughout 2013, PRISA remained committed to its objective of promoting a preventive culture throughout its businesses. Noteworthy in this regard is the Group’s commitment to comprehensive compliance with current regulations and the integration of risk prevention in the general management systems of companies. The Preventive Policy is available to all employees on the Intranet of the Business Units. All actions carried out are aimed at improving safety and health at work. Among these are: ƒƒ Preventive Plans. ƒƒ Psychosocial Assessments (Catsa, Itaca and El País). ƒƒ Evaluations of facilities. ƒƒ Continuous training in Occupational Health and Safety. ƒƒ Implementation of Emergency Plans. ƒƒ Coordination of business activities. ƒƒ Investigation of accidents. ƒƒ Management of Personnel Protection Items. ƒƒ Medical examinations. ƒƒ Preventive Campaigns. ƒƒ Health Promotion. PRISA’s Joint Prevention Service has its own space within the Intranets of the various constituent companies. This Portal hosts information on prevention campaigns, news of interest, legislative developments... so that all workers remain fully and permanently informed about their health and safety. Occasionally, more specific campaigns are conducted. In 2013, these included: ƒƒ Blood donation campaigns. These take place twice a year in collaboration with the Red Cross. ƒƒ Smoking cessation campaign. Motivational and informative workshops have been developed covering the risks of smoking, and help is offered in the monitoring of the different treatments. ƒƒ Back and Posture Workshops.
