Management areas
07 For this level of specialization we´ve mentioned, and our leadership in the country´s energy sector, we have identified the fact that the key knowledge of the industry that every AES leader must have is inside the organization. In this regard we have created an internal Executive Development Program called “Doing Business.” In 2012, together with the human resources personnel, professionals with experience in the central areas of the business, such as operations, commercial, compliance, legal, finance, and others, have developed a modular program of 56 hours of training with high quality standards and metrics on the learning process. In addition, we worked on the development of leadership by sending several collaborators to Costa Rica to train in the INCAE “Emerging Leader Program.” AES believes in the development of its people, so it has an Educational Assistance Program that grants scholarships for university, graduate, and master´s level studies, encouraging those with talent to continue to learn and polish their professional training. One of its main focuses is on maximizing the potential for the development and growth of its people, so it makes great efforts in its performance management system, which translate into business plans and strategic goals to be achieved in line with the individual and team goals, s well as the development of leadership competencies that reflect that values and skills that AES requires for individual and organizational success. Understanding that a high-performance culture is based on recognizing and motivating differentiating behaviors, AES Dominicana continues to strengthen its formal program of recognition called Lumen by adding a new chapter to encourage constant and informal recognition through its program Huellas, and renewing the program frequently.
