Indra and Fundacion Inteligencia y Sociedad collaborate to promote talent development

Indra, the premier IT company in Spain and a leading IT multinational in Europe, and the Fundación Inteligencia y Sociedad have signed a collaboration agreement in order to promote talent development in Spain and to optimise the capacities of smart youths for the benefit of the society. This agreement is in line with Indra's commitment to talent and diversity as key factors to innovation and sustainability. 

Besides this, Indra will join the Advisor Council of the Fundación, a public-interest and a non-profit organization devoted to the study of human intelligence and to the development oftalent with a special focus on highly smart children and youths. 

Highly smart youths often suffer from integration problems due to either the absence of an adequate educational system that meets their capacities and boosts their talent and creativity or to their own emotional issues which hinder the progress of their social skills to gain access to professions or tasks they are very capable of performing. 

Fundación Inteligencia y Sociedad seeks to disseminate and advertise the profile of highly smart people to facilitate their integration in society as well as to implement activities to develop talent and education in every sector of the society. 

Diversity and talent management in Indra

For Indra to gather, retain and manage the talent and diversity are key elements to innovation and sustainability and therefore a strategic priority. 

The IT multinational has been working for years on talent development programmes by means of incorporating new assets to the organization or through specific training programmes for talented youths. Highly smart people can contribute creativity and innovation, two aspects which can really make a competitive difference in a corporate environment. 

On the other hand, diversity, the integration of different profiles, capacities or interests, etc. is one of the objectives of the staff management model of the company. Diversity furthers innovation and learning within the organization thanks to individual contributions and accommodates values of the company such as sensitivity and originality in the daily behaviour of professionals besides promoting a deeper commitment to the entrepreneurial project. 

 

Indra is the premier Information Technology company in Spain and a leading IT multinational in Europe and Latin America. It is ranked as the second European company in its sector according to investment in R&D with over € 500 M during the last three years. In 2010 revenues reached € 2,557 M and the international market already accounts for a 44%. The company employs more than 35,000 professionals and has clients in more than 110 countries.
