Nors GO is the Group's new trainee programme, which seeks to attract, retain and prepare the future talent of the organisation. With its first edition projected for early 2023, in a pilot edition in Portugal, the programme is aimed at young graduates or those starting their professional experience, with different backgrounds and skills. More than just an internship programme, Nors GO aims to contribute effectively to the professional growth of the trainees, ensuring mentoring throughout the programme, continuous training, contact with Nors' leadership levels and the possibility of integration in the Group.

It is, at the same time, a programme based on the strategy of providing the Group with a pipeline of young talent, with excellent levels of training and prepared for the challenges of the future, which will allow not only the maintenance of a continuous rejuvenation of the Nors structures but, simultaneously, a refreshing of the set of skills, mindset and preparation for the leadership of the future.

The Group's new performance management model, called "Nors Drive", was designed and structured throughout 2022, with the objective of driving employee performance towards extraordinary results, promoting a spirit of mission and delivery, as well as the development of skills and behaviours in line with Nors' vision. Nors Drive consists of three systems: "Drive Results" and "Drive Productivity", focused on the quantitative aspect of performance, and "Drive Development", focused on how results are achieved.

This new recognition system promotes the Group's alignment and aims to recognise and reward short-term results that contribute to the long-term success of the organisation. In turn, "Drive Development" is a future-oriented process that allows the assessment of stages of development and potential, contributing to other people management processes such as careers, mobility, training and succession, in an integrated management of talent in the medium and long term.
