The organization focuses on the installation of security systems, including video surveillance, access control, and systems integration, primarily catering to the industrial sector. This takes place in the initial construction or at a later stage.
Integration in the company is achieved through the organization’s efforts to provide opportunities based on individual capabilities, language training, and initial pairing with experienced colleagues.
The company supports the successful integration of refugees and other migrants by combining mentoring with experienced colleagues, on-the-job training, and flexibility with formal qualifications. The company avoids assigning individuals to high-risk projects until they have developed sufficient language proficiency and a successful track record. They recruit migrants directly from their countries of origin sometimes.
The process of hiring from another country involves navigating Spanish labour regulations, including obtaining approval from the Ministry of Labour, which can have complexities. The company has not pursued similar recruitment efforts due to the difficulty of bringing in workers from abroad since there are stricter regulations and the challenges of identifying candidates with the right skills in origin countries. Instead, most of their current migrant employees are already residing in the country before being hired.
The company actively invests in upskilling its workforce by collaborating with Vocational and Educational Training (VET) centres and incorporating hands-on, practical on-the-job training. Recognizing that some candidates may lack formal qualifications, the organization offers opportunities to learn directly from experienced colleagues, as there is no specific VET curriculum for security system installations.
The company uses its internal funding to support worker training and qualifications.
Employees reported being satisfied with the support provided, particularly with opportunities to regularize their immigration status.
The integration of migrants into the organization has been successful due to a combination of strategies focused on adaptability, inclusion, and skills building. The organization fosters a culture of mutual respect and equal opportunity, where promotions and recognition are based solely on merit and performance, regardless of nationality or background.
Employees who demonstrate dedication and capability are given increased responsibilities, creating a pathway for growth and motivation. Language acquisition is also a key component of successful integration. Workers are supported and encouraged to improve their Spanish proficiency.
Lastly, the organization has supported the legal integration of some employees by providing job offers that enabled them to regularize their immigration status.
