Correos signs up a further 2,000 intermittent permanent workers

Correos is going to contract around 2,000 workers as intermittent permanent employees, instead of signing temporary contracts as it did up until the last collective agreement, to cover its employment requirements in the summer campaign for deliveries on foot and by motorcycle and sorting. The postal operator has once again decided on this type of contract that has enabled the creation of stable, high-quality employment and contributed to an increase in the quality of the services it offers citizens and businesses.
Last year, more than 3,000 workers joined Correos as intermittent permanent employees, 50 pct of which have become permanent employees in the Public Company within its Permanent Transfer Selection Process, the postal company’s horizontal mobility and promotion system.
In this way, CORREOS promotes a clear strategy of fostering stable, high-quality employment, significantly reducing job insecurity. Since November 2006, it has taken on nearly 10,400 permanent workers to carry out delivery tasks in urban and rural sorting offices, and customer services in the post offices. These will now be joined by another 2,000 workers, hired as intermittent permanent employees to cover the structural personnel requirements that occur every year during holiday or peak activity periods, such as the summer and Christmas campaigns.
Correos has been applying this new company recruitment system, which is more agile, dynamic and decentralised, since the 2nd Collective Agreement and General Employment Agreement, signed on 19 June 2006.
This new system contributes towards improving the quality of the service given to customers and users, as the workers gain experience in their jobs and work areas thanks to their stable labour relationship with the postal company.

The public postal company also favours the professional promotion of its workers as the best way to achieve efficient and high-quality management of the postal service. As mentioned earlier, half of the workers that joined the company as intermittent permanent workers have already been taken on as permanent employees. Furthermore, since 2006 Correos has offered its employees 2,212 middle management positions in its two Business Divisions: Postal (logistics centres and delivery units) and Offices (public service multiservice establishments).
Finally, there is an ongoing internal promotion process for civil servants, to cover 1,050 jobs in the four Postal Corps – Upper Management, Management, Executive and Auxiliary-, which will favour the professional career development of this group of workers.
