OUR PEOIPLE<br />

Developing high calibre<br />

candidates in South America<br />

Recruiting and retaining young, high calibre,<br />

candidate’s helps a company to stay innovative<br />

and brings fresh perspective and approach to<br />

business processes. Investing in the development<br />

and further training of these candidates helps<br />

our employees feel recognised, valued and<br />

motivated as well as increasing the sense of<br />

loyalty to managers and the company.<br />

Rexam Trainee program<br />

In our South American Beverage Can (BCSA)<br />

business we have launched a specially<br />

designed ‘Rexam Trainee program’ targeted<br />

at recruiting high calibre graduates (within<br />

two years of graduation) for inclusion in a<br />

graduate development scheme. The scheme<br />

offers them mentoring, career planning,<br />

exposure and experience in multiple business<br />

functions and specialist projects for specified<br />

areas of the business.<br />

After selection, candidates go through a series<br />

of induction and orientation programmes<br />

including:<br />

• Induction Workshop - Introduction to the<br />

Rexam group, Rexam BCSA, functional<br />

managers and strategies, overview of<br />

Externally hosted workshops to plan and<br />

‘Green Belt’ certification and resulting<br />

The candidates are given specific projects to<br />

complete and allocated functional areas and<br />

teams to work with. To support them throughout<br />

the whole process candidates have allocated<br />

mentors and tutors and are given open<br />

access to any additional support and advice<br />

required from local and corporate HR<br />

functions and managers.<br />

The BCSA graduate training program has<br />

been designed and implemented with a view<br />

to help develop select talented young<br />

professionals to bring continuous improvement<br />

and increased strategic competency to Rexam,<br />

while building each individual candidate a<br />

sustainable path of career development for<br />
