identifies improved performance. p3 was launched in 2012

International mobility
the Group's programme of international mobility has
involved about 100 individuals up to now, providing
them with an opportunity for professional growth in an
international context. this programme, open to both
professionals and young talents, is based on a structured
and effective process that identifies specific requirements
for managerial know-how or highly specialised knowledge,
which the Group satisfies via the international transfer
of resources. prysmian believes that the development of
individuals by giving them international experience also
results in better performance and achievements.
the Group uses various methods to select the best
candidates for the programme, such as the mapping of
talents and critical know-how, as well as succession tables.
the analysis of profiles identifies those resources with the
characteristics needed to fill open positions. the Group is
also introducing a performance appraisal system designed
to monitor at all times the progress made by individuals
posted abroad.
the profile of an expatriate is that of a professional
who knows how to fit in with colleagues, transferring to
them the experience, skills, knowledge and leadership
needed to overcome organisational difficulties, such as
those associated with business issues, new projects, new
production requirements or adaptation to new operating
conditions.
as part of an integrated approach to global mobility, the
prysmian Group has recently introduced a programme of
cultural orientation, designed to assist persons sent to
a foreign country. the local hR Manager is responsible
for providing multicultural training to the transferred
employee, in preparation for tackling the new scenario
with greater "cultural awareness". the purpose of this type
of training, as part of a training process that is organised
and managed centrally, is to enable transferees to manage
multicultural situations.
the number of opportunities is expected to expand in 2013
and in future years, with constant attention dedicated to
the provision of support for expatriate personnel.
