Consum and ONCE Foundation have renewed for the fourth time the collaboration agreement, which has enabled the hiring of more than 130 people with disabilities since its first edition, ten years ago. The contracts have been made to fill vacancies in the three business units of the cooperative, including cashier and store replenishment positions, order preparers in logistics warehouses and administrative staff in central offices and in all the autonomous communities in which the cooperative is present: Valencian Community, Catalonia, Region of Murcia, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia. This new agreement will involve the hiring of 30 more people over the next three years. Consum’s Personnel Director, Pedro Hernández, and the General Secretary of the ONCE Foundation and Inserta Empleo and Director of Transformation, Excellence and Equality of the ONCE Foundation, Virginia Carcedo, signed this agreement at the cooperative’s headquarters in Silla (Valencia). Also present at the event were the director of Inserta Empleo in the Valencian Community, Vicente Micó, and the director of External Relations at Consum, Javier Quiles. The agreement will cover the new jobs that the company demands, will pre-select candidates that best fit the profiles needed and will provide customized training to enable them to perform the assigned tasks. For Consum’s Director of External Relations, Javier Quiles, the successive renewals of this agreement by the Personnel Department are evidence of the cooperative’s commitment to talent and inclusion. “Their incorporation into the teams, with different skills and experiences, brings new perspectives and ideas and favors innovation and decision-making,” he stressed. For her part, Virginia Carcedo assured that the collaboration with Consum has been and will continue to be very fruitful and highlighted the value that people with disabilities bring to an “increasingly diverse and inclusive” workforce. “In addition, the fact that most of the jobs they occupy are public-facing contributes to the visibility and normalization of disability,” she added.
