INTERNAL COMMUNICATION

The Gerdau Group provides the training and the means for the daily practice of transparent internal communication that enhances employee commitment to company objectives.

Internal communication is a fundamental tool in recognizing distinctive results, as it encourages the celebration, acknowledgment and communication of such results to other employees.

Furthermore, it is a fundamental form of support for monitoring the progress of goals in the industrial units, as these goals are shared by visible management systems and operator-focused management.
