In the next two years, the Portuguese group wants to build a nursery in Braga for its workers’ children.
dstgroup seeks to hire 400 people by 2024 in the areas of construction, renewables or telecommunications, and, in June, it will hold an open day at the group’s Braga HQ complex. The company, which raised the minimum wage in Portugal to 800 euros, wants “in the next two years” to open a nursery at its HQ for the children of its workers.
With 2,700 workers, the Portuguese group wants to strengthen its teams and, for that, it will hold an open day on June 2, at 10 am, in Braga. The group seeks to hire different professionals, such as site preparers, drivers-operators, drivers and foremen, electricians, site managers, plumbers, electromechanics, mechanics, auto electricians, lathe operators, welders, metalworkers, CNC operators and people for the area of innovation and carpentry.
In addition to the recruitment action – with networking and speed meeting moments –, the open day also includes a scavenger hunt making known the various companies present in the complex, such as bysteel or dte, as well as the restaurants in the complex, the gardens – with works of art – and the leisure spaces available.
In a sector struggling with labor shortages, this is just one of the initiatives undertaken by the company to attract talent. “The strategies we have carried out consist of participating in job fairs all across the country at universities, polytechnics and other government initiatives. In addition, we have been promoting employer branding and employee experience initiatives as a way of attracting and retaining talent”, says José Machado, HR director, to ECO Trabalho.
The group has also been resorting to recruitment in the external market to overcome the shortage of manpower. “We have been recruiting abroad, which has helped us meet our labor needs. The changes that occurred recently with the new work visas have facilitated the processes”, admits José Machado.
Nursery for employees' children
Since the beginning of the year, in order to “combat precarious work, promote the capture and retention of talent and provide well-being and quality of life to its workers”, the entry base salary was increased from 740 euros to 800 euros /gross – to which is added the “meal allowance, life insurance, health insurance and more than 70 other benefits in various areas” –, an amount above the national minimum wage of 760 euros. But the group's HR Department admits that this parameter is under constant analysis in view of the competitive climate in the sector. ´
“Our idea is to continuously evaluate and pay wages above the national minimum, increasingly valuing labor, especially in the engineering and construction sector, where labor needs will continue to be fundamental and relevant for the future development of the country, namely with the PRR”, assures José Machado.
And also increase the benefits package that the company has to offer to its workers. Free appointments in general medicine, dentistry and psychology, a library, several soccer, tennis and padel tennis fields, manicure service and rest and meditation rooms are some of the spaces available to workers at the HQ complex.
“In the next two years, we expect to be able to set up a daycare center at our complex for the children of our employees”, reveals the HR Department. The plans also include “identifying new ways that bring added value to the emotional salary of our workers”.
