It focuses on three aspects: Staff selection, training and evaluation. We are involved in getting to know the employees' efficiency and helping them improve and contribute to the company's success. Besides these tasks, we do many more things, from collaborating with education centres, participating in fairs and events, managing subsidies, and a long list of etceteras.Our department is available to all the staff in the Corporation. What I recommend everyone is to contact us should they have any need or concern.

How long have you been working for this company? How was your career path in Televes?

I joined Televes in 2006 , via a temporary agency. My first assignment was as a receptionist. In 2015, I had the opportunity to join the Personnel department, which I liked, since I enjoy dealing with people, and since 2017 I am part of the Human Resources Development department.

What I recommend everyone is not to hesitate and contact Human Resources should they have any need or concern

What is the most satisfying aspect of your job?

My favourite is staff assessment, because it involves sitting with people and listening to them. I like getting to know people and learn from the vision each person has about the company. My role is to help them improve and grow professionally. This contributes to motivation and reinforces commitment.

And what is the hardest?

Searching for new professional profiles associated with Industry 4.0 is a major challenge. We need experts in Big Data, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence... The problem lies in the fact that there is gap between what the companies need and the background of the new graduates. Everything evolves very rapidly , and both universities and education centres aren't nimble enough to adapt to such quick changes.

What are, in your opinion, the essential values of our company?

To me, the main value of Televes lies in its human team. All the people that day after day give the best of themselves for us to continue being a reference in terms of innovation, quality and productivity.

Tell us about an ongoing project you consider important.

The key project is Corp4Future. It involves addressing the challenge of digital transformation and Industry 4.0, and requires a huge commitment from all of us. From the Human Resources Development perspective, it not only involves an intensive search for talent outside the organization, but also great opportunities for professional growth inside the Corporation.

The GPON standard (providing services to the users) is defined by its class (A, B, C, B+, and C+). They differ in the transmitting power and the receiving sensitivity. Most common classes B+ (OLT/ONT) powers lie in the 1.5 dBm - 5 dBm / 0.5 dBm - 5 dBm ranges respectively. Receiving sensitivities <28 dBm / <27dBm respectively. Most common classes C+ (OLT/ONT)powers lie in the 3 dBm - 7 dBm / 0.5 dBm - 5 dBm ranges respectively. Receiving sensitivities <32 dBm / <30 dBm respectively.

The Ethernet standard (data sharing) was developed in order to share information among multiple devices with large capacity. This type of network does not have fixed transmission speeds and wavelengths like GPON networks. One of the most popular standards for Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbits) over optical fibre is 1000BASE-LX (1260 nm... 1360 nm,up to 10 km, single mode). For 10 Gigabit Ethernet the most popular standard is 10GBASE-LR (1310 nm, up to 10 km, single mode). In addition, most popular standards for twisted pair (up 100 m) are 1000BASE-T (CAT5, CAT5e or CAT6), and 1000BASE-TX (CAT6 or CAT7).
