The challenge of transforming the Gerdau Group into a world class international company resulted in the definition of new human resources strategies. The management of people is now carried out on the basis of global policies, adjusted to the needs of each business operation.

   The Group has also invested in the development of new competencies in its employees, such as cultural flexibility and networking, that are essential to the Company's aspirations on the world market and to the consolidation of a team of professionals specialized in the management of steel.

   The values that inform the Company's practices are the same ones that have sustained it for more than 100 years, and are based on respect for people, overcoming challenges and continuous learning. They encourage the active participation of employees, delegation of work, total dedication, an entrepreneurial spirit and a sense of personal responsibility for results.

   The internal environment is monitored and fine-tuned by means of annual opinion surveys that demonstrate growing indexes of approval and satisfaction among employees.
