Budimex SA is the first company in the Ferrovial Group and one of the first companies in Poland to implement the “Human Resources Information System” (HRIS) created by Oracle. In 2020, the main “soft” HR processes such as periodic evaluation, goal setting, training and development are covered by this solution. Subsequently, processes related to recruitment, development, succession planning, as well as support for the remuneration and benefits area will also be included. In this way, Budimex provides employees and supervisors with flexible self-service, in line with the latest global practices. HRIS covers almost 6 thousand employees in 5 companies of the Budimex Group. Work on the implementation of the system has been ongoing since the beginning of 2019. This is the largest such project carried out in the construction industry and one of the largest implementations of cloud solutions in Poland. HRIS will support the implementation of HR activities through employee access to the system via computer, tablet and phone.
