93 Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report 2017 | PRISA It must also be borne in mind that, 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 pro-fessional services, with Spain, Chile and Northern Cen-tral 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, web development, photogra-phy and illustration. Meanwhile, the broad geographic scope of our company means that the Group’s companies believe in strict res-pect for the basic labor rights as recognized by the Inter-national 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 pro-motion of locally sourced managers so that all countries where we operate boast a high percentage of local team leaders and managers. Many our staff (64%), except for senior management, are subject to collective labor agreements in each of their companies. Above and beyond these collective labor agreements, the Group’s companies substantially impro-ve conditions and thus provide our professionals with an attractive and competitive working environment, financial and job security, independence, and cutting-edge tech-nology. 1 Standard initial salary offered to employees by PRISA in contrast to minimum local salary.
