B<strong>RA</strong>ZIL: T<strong>RA</strong>INING DEALER<br />
EMPLOYEES IN AFTER-SALES<br />
SERVICE<br />
In 2001, <strong>PSA</strong> Peugeot Citroën,<br />
Brazil’s national education system<br />
for industry (SENAI) and France’s<br />
National Education Ministry set up a<br />
training center in São Paulo to offer<br />
courses in after-sales service. In two<br />
years, nearly 1,600 employees have<br />
been trained in customer service,<br />
automobile maintenance and repair,<br />
and new automotive technologies.<br />
In 2002, nearly 900 Brazilian<br />
employees received some 29,000<br />
person-hours of training in such<br />
areas as product knowledge, basic<br />
mechanics, quality methods and<br />
safety procedures. The commitment<br />
will be stepped up in 2003, with a<br />
more than 30% increase planned in<br />
the number of training hours.<br />
ATT<strong>RA</strong>CTING YOUNG G<strong>RA</strong>DUATES<br />
According to a survey conducted by the SOFRES public opinion firm, French business and<br />
engineering students spontaneously ranked <strong>PSA</strong> Peugeot Citroën as France’s best company<br />
to work for. This reputation is one reason 48,000 people applied for managerial positions<br />
with the Group in 2002.<br />
BUILDING A STRONGER, MORE<br />
STRUCTURED PRESENCE OUTSIDE F<strong>RA</strong>NCE<br />
Following start-up of the Porto Real plant<br />
in Brazil in February 2001, the global<br />
manufacturing base will be expanded in<br />
2005 and 2006 by two new facilities: one<br />
in Kolin, Czech Republic in association with<br />
Toyota, and the other in Trnava, Slovakia.<br />
A total of 1,200 people have been hired<br />
at the Brazilian site, of which 250 in 2002,<br />
while 3,000 hires are planned in the Czech<br />
Republic and 3,500 in Slovakia. In all cases,<br />
the focus is on recruiting locally.<br />
The same human resources management<br />
principles are applied in all operations<br />
worldwide, with adjustments to local<br />
characteristics as required. In particular,<br />
more socially advanced employee benefits,<br />
such as operating margin-based incentives,<br />
are offered in all subsidiaries around the<br />
world.<br />
Global expansion has also fostered the<br />
embrace of cultural diversity and the<br />
emergence of an international culture.<br />
Long-term foreign assignments and intercountry<br />
transfers are being developed,<br />
with 8,400 people accepting such<br />
assignments in 2002. Cooperative ventures<br />
with Italian, German, US and Japanese<br />
carmakers are also supporting the<br />
development of an international mindset.<br />
