Latin America!

QUALA... the best company to work in Latin America in 2009

The company's success is based on the generation of ideas and thus, in
the talent of its human resource. Acknowledge and encourage this thinking is his secret.

“We have always competed with multinationals, and have never been the company with more resources. We know that our power is not in the wallet, but in ideas, and these are built with the talents of our people." With this phrase, Andres Gonzalez, general manager of Quala Colombia, graphically explains the value this firm gives its human resources, and provides guidelines for understanding why is the best place to work.

Quala's history focuses on their capacity for innovation, a talent that has allowed it to successfully compete against international companies the likes of Kraft, Nestle and Unilever, biting major holdings in consolidated markets such as chicken broth, the fresh powder, jellies and soups. The secret to conquer these markets are in a culture that values depth discussion, which creates a mindset that encourages employee participation in favor of innovation.

A test of the importance they give to employees is that in such a difficult year as 2009, they took the decision to not affect salary increases or salary itself. They say that “If you cut people and motivation, you cut the wings of the company and its future,"

Is companies like this establishing in Latin America that can change it all, because normally companies from this part of the world focus more on profits than on people, and this have to change, because taking care of workers could help them as much as it could help the workers.
