”People First”,<br />
the social charter<br />
issued to all 11,400<br />
<strong>Group</strong> employees<br />
in 2011<br />
Overall strategy and large-scale projects<br />
remain the province of <strong>Bel</strong>’s corporate<br />
head offices. Networking between<br />
regions and countries is encouraged,<br />
as are internal job moves, which are a<br />
source of mutual enrichment. As a part<br />
of its “Talent Factory” program, the<br />
<strong>Group</strong> has made international job moves<br />
a key to its growth, with the goal being<br />
to transfer skills and build local talent<br />
nurseries. In 2011, 81 employees made<br />
internal, international job moves,<br />
up from 69 in 2010.<br />
A mutual commitment for growth<br />
<strong>Bel</strong> decided to draft a social charter<br />
for it 11,400 employees. <strong>The</strong> People<br />
First charter (see sidebar on page 28)<br />
is particular in that it spells out <strong>Bel</strong>’s<br />
commitments to its employees to<br />
ensure their development, as well<br />
as what it expects in return from<br />
its managers and employees.<br />
In this way, the charter explains the<br />
rights and duties of everyone within<br />
the <strong>Bel</strong> community.<br />
81<br />
international job<br />
moves in 2011<br />
<strong>The</strong> People First charter was prepared<br />
in accordance with <strong>Bel</strong>’s way of working.<br />
That is to say it was a collective effort<br />
involving the Human Resources<br />
Department and managers from various<br />
functions and regions. <strong>The</strong> charter was<br />
presented to all <strong>Group</strong> employees<br />
throughout 2011.<br />
At our Tangier plant, 95% of the team<br />
leaders appointed in the past two years<br />
previously worked at the plant as<br />
maintenance technicians.<br />

First BEST graduates<br />
In 2011, 84 operators from various<br />
European plants earned diplomas<br />
from the BEST (<strong>Bel</strong> Employee Shopfl oor<br />
Training) program. BEST arose from<br />
a vital need to develop a specifi cally<br />
dedicated certifi cation program that<br />
recognizes basic knowledge about the<br />
manufacturing process, food safety,<br />
accident prevention, the environment,<br />
and other skills. <strong>The</strong> training program<br />
was deployed in France, the Netherlands<br />
and Portugal in 2011, and is expected to<br />
be extended to other countries in 2012.<br />
