Career development

You choose the limits, we provide the means

Telefónica’s corporate culture gives all its employees the opportunity to fully develop their skills and experience in an international setting.

Telefónica provides opportunities for people who want to grow professionally and personally, offering them the best resources available on the market so that they can attain their goals and rapidly take on greater responsibilities. For our young professionals with the greatest potential, there is the Corporate Program for Promising Young Employees (JAP), a unique way of allowing them to continuously meet challenges through rotation, specific training and a mentor who helps them develop throughout their career.

 

We recognise your dedication and your talent

At Telefónica, we always strive to beat our goals

And we believe in people. Each Telefónica employee is unique. So, we make sure we have continuity and we reward the individual dedication and talent shown by our employees. For this we have an appraisal system that rewards the results achieved and encourages, as one of our company’s fundamental values, communication between team members.

Telefónica’s leadership is underpinned by the value that each of us with our different and differentiated skills contributes to the company. Therefore, our aim is to help the professional and personal development of every man and woman in the Telefónica group. This is the best way of achieving the ambitious goals we set ourselves.
