“One of our employees has a brother with sensory disabilities, and he persuaded us to give his brother a chance. It turned out to be a great decision! He now works as an administrative assistant. Other team members were recruited with the help of the ONCE Foundation, Spain’s leading organisation for disability employment. The process was remarkably straightforward. ONCE sent us profiles of candidates who had already been screened to meet our requirements. We then arranged interviews with these potential candidates.”
“All our employees receive role-specific training, regardless of their abilities. Those working with machinery receive training in how to operate it safely and efficiently.”
“Each team member has a specific role, regardless of their limitations. Our site manager helps to transport parts and orders, Olga takes calls and deals with paperwork, and the carpenters contribute to technical tasks. Everything operates so smoothly that no special integration measures are required. However, as working with wood can sometimes be hazardous, we have supervisors who provide newcomers with guidance at the start. This is standard practice.”
“ONCE’s role is limited to recruitment; they do not supervise our employees at work. However, we maintain regular contact with ONCE in case any needs or concerns arise. Our employees have grown alongside us. Despite their disabilities, they are willing to take on new tasks and perform admirably. We don’t focus on their disabilities because they don’t request special assistance. We accept our employees as they are, and they excel in their roles. For our customers, what matters most is the quality of our products, and for us as a company, it’s about maintaining a fantastic work atmosphere. We’re delighted to have such a diverse team, and we plan to hire more people with disabilities. It’s just the way we do things.”
