Integração de novos empregados na superintendência da manutenção da Itaipu Binacional

Abstract

In the first half of the year 2000, Itaipu began a process to renew its staff, whose average was approximately 42 years. Then, a plan was implemented to pass on knowledge, to preserve technical memory, and, consequently, to maintain operational results. This process has been happening systemically, and currently Itaipu has approximately 63% of the staff made up of employees hired less than 10 years ago. Despite the general panorama of Itaipu Binacional, the staff turn over is also occurring in the Maintenance Superintendence - SM.DT. This process is characterized by the departure of highly experienced professionals who participated in important milestones during the Plant construction, such as the assembly and electromechanical commissioning of the generation equipment, as well as the entry of new employees, generally without experience in the specific equipment that makes up the industrial plant. In the context of people renewal, a program was proposed to integrate the new SM.DT professionals, called "Initial Integration and Training Program of SM.DT", aiming at making the insertion of these professionals in the specific work environments more agile and assertive, keeping into consideration the Itaipu Binacional organizational culture. The program was designed to be applied in the occurrence of hiring of new Brazilian employees, to be designated for positions at SM.DT, and was proposed through a survey of actions taken previously, the evaluation of the current state of SM.DT regarding the integration of new employees, and based on the concepts of organizational learning and people development. The implementation of this program will provide new staff with a more comprehensive view of SM.DT, shortly after hiring; it will enable the interaction of the new employees with the most experienced ones and will complement the evaluation process during the probationary period, contributing to the maintenance of the SM.DT operating indexes, as well as of Itaipu Binacional.
