A bridge between the Americas
The Gerdau Group constructed bridges of knowledge connecting the employees of its units in the Americas. Each year, different groups of professionals exchange experiences with colleagues from other countries, seeking to learn about new cultures, improve management practices and achieve increased operational results.

It is an opportunity to

learn about the Gerdau Management System and its practical application. It also works as an internal benchmarking method, since the group visits help facilitate dialogue between employees, who learn to speak the same management language and adopt similar practices.

These employees, in turn, share information within their own units (the multiplier effect). The exchange is an opportunity to internationalize professionals, who are able to have contact with the different cultures and practices adopted by their colleagues in other countries.
