Based on the following activities with all of the

team:

The organizations throw their directives to

focus in the “doing” that would allow the

achievement of the strategic plan. This makes

it imperative to count on a highly-qualified,

conscious and compromised team with its self-

development.

All of the above requires the strengthening of

the Human Resources Area in their selection

processes, induction and capacitation, while

demanding from themselves more in the

development of teams and highly-qualified

members.
