As part of its continuing efforts to promote the
values ??and virtues of Christian humanism, and to educate committed individuals,
the University has chosen to recognize 22 students for their academic,
professional, and human excellence through their participation in the 1st
edition of the High Performance Plan. The program rewards the efforts of these
outstanding students, who have been able to participate and work together in
solving challenges put to them over two days of face-to-face sessions.
During the first day, which focused on
teamwork, the students, accompanied by the Vice-Chancellor of Students and
University Life, Ángel Bartolomé; the Director of Professional Careers, Carmen
Sebrango; and the Technical Coordinator of Sports Activities, Jose Luis Valero,
demonstrated their ability to work in collaboration with others to achieve a
common goal, at times putting their own personal interests in second place. They
also proved their ability to weigh up the impact of their own actions on the
success of the team and to support each other in the face of difficulties.
The second day, which focused on talent, took
place at the headquarters of The Adecco Group, where the students were received
by the CEO of Adecco Spain, Iker Barricat. In this session, opened by the Dean,
Rosa Visiedo, and by the director of People & Culture at The Adecco Group,
Encarna Maroño, the students were divided into groups and they participated in
two different group dynamics situations: Riders of History and Talent Games. These
are dynamics situations that Adecco uses in its selection processes to identify
transversal competencies in candidates: communication skills, negotiation,
initiative, goal orientation, leadership, teamwork, flexibility, and
storytelling.
The activities were led by the Director of
People & Culture at The Adecco Group, and by the group’s Director of Talent,
Alberto Gavilán, accompanied by consultants from Adecco’s Human Resources area,
and by Laura Martín and Carmen Sebrango, from Professional Careers from the
University.
The University has encouraged these students to
continue working with the same dedication and enthusiasm in all projects they
undertake and has emphasized the University’s pride in having such excellent
people in our university community.
