At Zilia we put people first, stimulating creativity and professional growth. Our employees are our most valuable asset and we understand the importance of investing in their development so that they can build and be part of our future.

We believe that providing the best workplaces makes employees feel inspired, engaged, valued and included.

Integration at all levels of the organization is a fundamental factor and, therefore, it is important to maintain open and effective communication with everyone. In addition to conventional means, we take advantage of meetings between leaders and employees to share information, obtain feedback and periodically listen to new ideas.

Zilia Youth Program

Zilia, through the Zilia Youth Program, has been working to develop the skills of interns and apprentices seeking opportunities to enter the job market. In this program, young people from the communities where we operate are invited to become Program participants for a period of up to two years.

The process involves the direct participation of Zilia leaders to develop skills such as communication; responsibility; flexibility; and focus on results, among many others. Apprentices are encouraged to prepare and lead meetings with the teams, with the contribution of advisors, where they present their projects and achievements.

Development of employees and managers

The participation of each employee is important and we believe in the differential brought by the participatory and responsible approach.

Seeking continuous improvement and an environment of openness and trust, Zilia has numerous internal development programs for its professionals, with emphasis on:

Training and Zilia Learning Center

All Employees can study continuously, inside or outside the company, accessing our Digital Learning Platform. On this platform, courses on a variety of topics are made available, applicable to all levels of the organization.

Topics such as harassment, creating healthy work environments, inclusion and ethics and compliance are recurring courses.

Leadership Academies

We believe that strong leadership, which strives for ethical conduct and good practices, is essential to create a favorable environment for the development of people, innovation and the continuous improvement of our processes and products. In this context, the Leadership Academy aims to keep our team prepared for the challenges.

Individual Performance Monitoring for all levels

Through regular cycles, our managers and employees align expectations, measure performance and design routes to achieve organizational and individual career goals.

Open communication

On an ongoing basis, open meetings are held with Zilia’s senior management, including all employees in the company’s main strategic directions.

Diversity and inclusion

Zilia values and respects diversity in all its forms. We are proud that our employees represent a variety of races, religious beliefs and nationalities, without differences by gender, age, sexual orientation or physical and mental abilities. We believe that diversity multiplies talent, provides new points of view and contributes to a creative and inclusive environment.

The teams bring valuable perspectives and experiences to our company, helping us to consistently raise the bar and drive innovation.

We are committed to ensuring our employees an inclusive and non-discriminatory work environment, based on principles of fair treatment and which are followed in the recruitment, promotion, performance evaluation, remuneration, training and retirement of all employees.
