We bet on training
Faith in training is a key part of the human resources policy at Iberdrola. It is an essential element for:
- Professional growth for job performance.

A 70/20/10 model of learning
At the Iberdrola Group, we want all employees to feel motivated and supported to develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours that will allow them to adequately perform their current job or a future position. For this reason, in 2016 we created a new Corporate Innovation and Training Campus in Madrid, where nearly 13,000 people are trained each year.
We also look after the dissemination of the company's existing knowledge, continuous learning, and cultural exchange, in order to enhance operational efficiency through the proper use of intellectual capital, as outlined in the Knowledge Management Policy.
The Iberdrola group wants all its employees to feel encouraged and supported so that they can develop their knowledge, skills and behaviours in a way that will enable them to perform their current duties properly or to take on a new professional endeavour in the future. For this reason, in 2016 we created a new Corporate Innovation and Training Campus in Madrid, where around 13,000 people are trained every year.
Also, in 2018, we went live with our global learning and development portal. This is called Learning Meeting Point (LMP) and gives our employees direct access to the full gamut of virtual training and development tools. Additionally, we have carried out a design and unification process with our labour climate surveys for all group companies in order to share results, draw up action plans and adopt better practices worldwide.
During the year 2021, the Roadmap for the implementation of the Strategic Learning Framework was defined, with the main objective of connecting the training offer with the strategy and doing so in a collaborative way with all the companies of the group.
