Islands offer
year-round
training sessions,
activities
and workshops. 
More than
4,100 employees
participated
in corporate
academy voluntary
courses, new
employee orientations,
health coordinator 
certifications,
and manager
onboarding
courses.
These courses
offer
instructor-led
training
experiences
for employees
to learn 
and
apply
critical
core
and
technical
skills.
Our
commitment
to
continuous
learning
is
further
supported
by
offering
our

Our
focus
on
training
and
development
has
provided
internal
growth
opportunities
to
our
workforce.
As
a
result,
the 
Corporation’s
internal mobility
rate in 2024
was 44%. This
included employees
who applied
or were selected
for vacancies,
were 
promoted,
or
had
lateral
movements.
Additionally,
we
continued
strengthening
key
skills
across
accelerated
development 
programs
focused
on
data
science,
analytics,
process
excellence
and
program
management.
During
2024,
we
engaged
303 
participants
in such
programs,
further
advancing
the organization’s
talent.
In 2024,
Popular
also strategically
aligned
employee 
performance
appraisals
with
the
company's
cultural
framework,
by
transitioning
to
evaluate
our
new
values
and
behaviors 
instead
of
organizational
competencies.
This
shift
supports
the
development
of
a
culture
that
prioritizes
the
company’s
core 
values and desired
behaviors.
Our
organizational
effectiveness
strategy
was
crucial
in
enhancing
organizational
development
through
targeted
initiatives.
By 
implementing
activities
like
assessments,
team
integration
activities,
new manager
integration
facilitations,
and team
alignment 
sessions, we
aim to cultivate
a cohesive and
adaptable workforce.
