Continuous learning

We offer innovative options for training and learning across our organization.

Employee development

We continued making investments in new tools that expand training options for our employees, allowing them to be protagonists in their own personal and professional growth. Over the course of the year, we invested more than US$2.8 million in training initiatives, in which every employee received an average of 19.4 hours of training. This keeps us on the path to reach our 2025 goal to offer more than 20 hours of training on average per employee.

We are convinced that continuous learning is a way to promote the development in our employees and, at the same time, it allows us to be prepared as a company to successfully implement our business strategy.

Share to Connect

In 2020, we launched Share to Connect, an e-learning initiative that helped us keep the Sigma family together during the period when employees had to work from home. During 2020, more than 4,200 people participated in Share to Connect, with more than 15,500 connections across 90 sessions and spanning a wide range of topics, including resilience, cooking, yoga, physical and mental health, meditation, work-life balance, home vegetable gardens, composting, diversity and inclusion, volunteering, and professional growth.
