After several years of collaboration in different talent management and development projects, Psicotec Peru has participated in the development of the Virú Training Plan for the company Sociedad Agrícola Virú S.A. in its different headquarters.
What is Virú? What is the importance of the Virú Training Plan?
Virú, a leading company in the agribusiness sector and the largest producer of fine vegetables and canned and frozen fruits in Peru, has proven to be an organization involved in the development of its employees.
Certified by Great Place to Work as one of the best companies to work for in Peru, Psicotec has had the opportunity to be part of Virú’s commitment to talent management. Once again, we have been participants in the Virú Corporate Training Plan, with the main focus on the development of leadership skills in the heads of areas and middle managers in general of the organization.
What is the objective of the Virú Training Plan?
The main objective of the training was to strengthen the leadership of the participants, chiefs, coordinators, supervisors both in the administrative part and in the production plants and in the field, generating confidence and influence in their role, achieving loyalty of the people in their charge, through their own development and a humanistic vision.
What is the structure of the Virú Training Plan project?
The training sessions took place throughout the months of October and November. To achieve a greater scope, different training groups were organized in the various venues: 
- Virú, in the Region of La Libertad, where 191 employees of the companies Virú and Agroberries participated.
- Caynarachi, located in the San Martín Region in the jungle of Peru with the participation of 34 collaborators.
- Virú Chincha, in the Ica Region, on the southern coast of Peru, where 54 employees participated.
- Corporate headquarters in the city of Lima: with the participation of 13 employees.
Through a face-to-face format and maintaining the Psicotec trainers who had already lived the experience in previous years, greater synergy and integration with the participants was achieved.
Psicotec PSIC Methodology for the Virú Corporate Training Plan
At Psicotec, we develop competencies and skills in an experiential, dynamic and participatory way. Our PSIC (Think, Feel, Internalize, Create) methodology works with skills, attitudes, power skills, knowledge and motivations in order to achieve behavioral changes that increase professional efficiency. Under this dynamic, we designed and taught the workshops focusing on developing those skills that turned out to be the most interesting for Virú in these turbulent times in Peru.
Among the skills developed, we can mention the following:
-
Managing Emotions: Dynamics were developed to recognize the impact of the current situation and improve emotional control in search of personal balance and interaction with the work team, as well as with other internal customers in the organization.
-
Self-confidence: Tasks were developed to develop a personal SWOT and recognize strengths and opportunities for improvement.
-
Motivation, Synergy, Identity: It was possible to identify and recognize one’s own needs and how these are satisfied in the workplace.
Similarly, tools were offered to recognize the needs of others, generate empathy and build staff loyalty.
Finally, dynamics were developed to recognize the values and belief systems predominant in the company, as well as recognize how they are lived and transmitted.
Psicotec’s previous experience collaborating with the Virú Agricultural Society, the knowledge of the business they develop and the closeness with the heads of the Human Resources area, allowed once again to achieve a result with a high level of satisfaction on the part of our important client.
We thank Virú for the trust placed in the Psicotec team and we hope to continue collaborating with them as strategic partners in the management and development of the company’s human talent.
If your organization needs to update its Training Plan or needs any support in the development of competencies and skills, from the Training & Development Area of Psicotec we will be happy to help you.
