Moventis Sarfa reinforces its commitment in Girona with the sponsorship of the XV Economic Debate of the Palamós Chamber of Commerce

 

Last Friday, February 17, the VX Economy Debate The immediate future of the global economy took place, promoted by the Palamós Chamber of Commerce and with Moventis Sarfa as one of the main sponsors of the event.

The president of the Economic Circle, Jaume Guardiola, was the keynote speaker at the economic session held at the Parador Aiguablava, in Begur. For its part, Moventis Sarfa, the main Girona concessionaire belonging to the Moventia group, once again repeated its commitment as a collaborator in the important economic debate. Enric Gimeno, manager of the transport company, was one of the business faces that stood out among the guests.

The talk, which attracted more than 80 attendees, included the participation of the president of the Chamber of Girona, Jaume Fàbrega, and the president of the Chamber of Palamós, Pol Fages. Speakers and attendees discussed aspects of interest such as the global geopolitical situation, inflation and possible options to boost the catalan economy, such as strengthening airports or ending competition between territories.

The participation of Moventis Sarfa demonstrated the commitment of the Moventia group, which is open to participating in debates and events in which aspects of social relevance are discussed, and the support that the company offers to the territory in which it performs the urban transport service and intercity passenger services in Girona and the Costa Brava.

 

Moventia and UNHCR

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused immeasurable human loss and untold havoc for Ukrainian society. This situation has led non-profit organisations, such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to focus their efforts on providing as much aid as possible to the territory.

UNHCR has been working from day one to provide Ukrainian society with essential resources and to offer protection. That is why we at Moventia decided to contribute to the cause by collaborating with the NGO through in-house fundraising.

We encourage our employees to contribute privately to the cause through the UNHCR’s fundraising platform. Additionally, the company made a financial contribution, bringing the total funds raised to 12,442 euros.

On 14 February, UNHCR representatives visited Moventia’s headquarters and reported that 786 refugees in other countries who were displaced by the invasion have received protection and assistance, as well as warm clothing, sleeping bags, and hygiene supplies, as a result of our charity efforts.

This is the first time that Moventia has worked alongside this United Nations entity. The company has also expressed its firm commitment to continue contributing to social causes, in line with principles that it holds dear, such as corporate social responsibility and a spirit of solidarity.

 

Moventis Illes promotes job placement in Mallorca with subsidies for students who take the initial CAP for travellers

 

Moventis Illes, concessionaire of interurban public transport of the TIB network in Mallorca, has signed a collaboration agreement with driving schools in the territory where its service operates. The agreement is valid for one year and will be automatically renewed to add more years of commitment to Mallorcan society.

This new project promoted by the company aims to promote job placement. The division based in Mallorca of the Moventia group will grant a subsidy for students of the CAP course (Professional Aptitude Course) who are interested in accessing job offers from the transport operator.

During the course, the staff of the Moventis team will publicize the company and present the contract offer to the students. The opportunity will have a prior selection process through individual interviews, followed by a driving test, which will serve to assess the aptitudes of each candidate for the position, and, finally, the notification of the incorporation to the company to the candidates who have been selected.

Obtaining the grant will be delivered gradually during the first professional stage at Moventis Illes.

This initiative demonstrates the Moventia group’s commitment to society. The expert company in sustainable mobility reinforces its proposal of opportunities with the mission of promoting the labour sector.

Josep Maria Martí receives ‘Honour Award’ from Etalentum

The CEO of Moventis and Executive Vice-President of Moventia, Josep Maria Martí, was given the Honour Award for his personal career at the Etalentum Awards on Tuesday. This is the first time that Etalentum, a leading Spanish staff recruitment company, has organised these awards and they coincide with the celebrations surrounding the centenary of Moventia.

Josep Maria Martí was chosen by a committee of experts made up by representatives from prestigious public-private entities in the region, such as Sabadell City Council, the Chamber of Commerce in the municipality, the Banc de Sabadell, the School of Economics and Business at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and Etalentum. After studying the profiles and careers of numerous executives from the region, the panel of judges from various backgrounds unanimously decided to recognise Josep Maria Martí for his career and the success he has achieved over more than 35 years of professional life.

In turn, Josep Maria Martí expressed gratitude upon receiving this important recognition by saying “I would like to express my thanks for this magnificent award, which I receive on behalf of the entire Moventia team, the family and the teachers we have had over the years, whose lessons have taught me to trust in people, let them work, train them in the necessary skills and treat them with empathy and respect. I would also like to stress that I am particularly pleased to receive this award at the start of a year in which we are celebrating the centenary of a company set up by my grandfather in 1923”.

The Etalentum Awards are local awards and have begun their history by recognising companies based in Sabadell and surrounding towns. The main goal for this project is to highlight the value of people-centric purposes at local companies based on such diverse factors as the promotion of internal and external talent, the level of commitment to employees, the creation of opportunities for training and professional development, the application of work-life balance, integration and healthcare policies, and best practice in internal communication and transparency.

The award ceremony took place at the Sabadell Chamber of Commerce and was also attended by the Mayor of Sabadell, Ms. Marta Farrés, as well as other prestigious representatives from the business world in El Vallès Occidental. Future editions will take place in other Spanish towns.

 

A benchmark for 100 years

Besides the award given to Josep Maria Martí, it should also be noted that Moventia, which is celebrating 100 years in 2023, was one of six companies nominated for the Etalentum Award in the category of ‘companies with over 100 employees’, all of which were selected by the quorum of experts for their sound projects to promote and develop human capital.

In statements from the co-founders of Etalentum, Jaume Alemany and David Boixader, these awards were created to “recognise the work undertaken by many companies to manage their human capital, to ensure employee motivation, to identify talent and foster it, and to facilitate work-life balance”, among other issues of a fundamental nature to business success.
