Agribusiness Company

35 years on the market, an agribusiness company with more than 500 employees and more than 20 branches was faced with a common (and critical) challenge: how to ensure alignment in leadership performance in an increasingly distributed business, with managers in different cities, operating under hybrid models - even if the work was 100% face-to-face?

Even with robust leadership development initiatives, the results were less than expected. The company needed more than content: it needed a real transformation in the way it leads.

That's when Upskill Platform entered.

The Upskill Platform was chosen to accelerate the development of 24 leaders, focusing on:

leadership succession,
stress management,
strengthening resilience and adaptability.

As well as developing essential leadership skills, the mentors supported the leaders in decision-making processes, in managing and developing their teams and in achieving their professional goals and objectives.

Testimonials

Having a professional to talk openly about various subjects and reflect on different aspects of life is a great opportunity for growth.[...]

Tax coordinator

Mentoring has improved my day-to-day dealings with my collaborators, peers and superiors, as well as my self-awareness, discovering my strengths and weaknesses and where I need to improve, with my mentor guiding me along the path to personal and professional improvement.

Technical and service manager

The mentoring sessions were extremely valuable for my professional development. We had several sessions over the course of these months that gave me a transformation, especially in terms of my focus on my goals, my leadership and my self-confidence. And the best thing was that it all happened very naturally.

Administrative Supervisor

For me, Upskill has been a strong ally in my professional growth and development. Having one-to-one mentoring so that I can talk freely about my challenges, safely and professionally, is really special. The support in self-reflection and in building new ideas, models and behaviours is also worth mentioning.

Administrative Coordinator

The mentoring I'm doing is changing the way I manage. Today I'm much more aligned with my team and our results are moving forward!

Branch Manager

Taking part in the mentoring programme has been an incredible experience. The practical approach and ongoing support are helping me to develop essential skills to lead with more confidence and empathy.

Coord. of Remuneration and Benefits

Mentoring has helped me a lot to identify points that I want to develop and feel are important for my work, and I've also learnt to put new ways of acting into practice. I believe this is the main benefit of this mentoring format.

Brand Management Specialist

I'm very pleased to have been able to put into practice the lessons learnt during the mentoring. It was only from this realisation that I turned the key to taking more assertive action.

Laboratory and Quality Supervisor

The mentoring has improved my personal life, my focus, my development of physical activities, my relationship at work, as well as my self-knowledge, which is developing every week.

Branch Manager

The recent changes have given me a lot of doubts about the person and professional I am, about my deliveries, skills and behaviours - a very difficult phase. Mentoring has helped me to have resilience and a positive mental attitude, not to react or give automatic responses, to breathe, to count to ten or take a drink of water before speaking out, not to give up, to value and find a purpose or reward in what I'm developing, to look with enthusiasm at all progress and to be a protagonist with a mindset that is always growing.
