People management solutions

To equip teams with tools that enable them to manage the workforce in an increasingly efficient way, we have been taking significant steps in the digital transformation of human resources processes.

Transfers between Pingo Doce stores

Pingo Doce invested in a digital tool that enables employees to submit transfer requests between stores through the Sou Pingo Doce (I am Pingo Doce) internal communication app. The digitalisation of this process ensures greater transparency and traceability of requests, as well as a swift response to the needs of employees. In 2022, more than 350 transfer requests were made using this application.

Awards and Recognitions

Hebe won the Recruitment and Onboarding category by Pracuj.pl (a recruitment website) after revolutionising its recruitment process with a digital solution.

Communication channels

We invest in creating a connected workplace to facilitate workforce interactions and communication.

Hablando Naranja (Talking Orange) and Pingo Doce Radio

In Colombia, Ara’s Hablando Naranja (Talking Orange) radio station is a communication channel that shares the most relevant information about the Company in radio talk shows periodically broadcast in all stores.

In Portugal, Pingo Doce Radio shares information about the business, interviews, competitions, and other topics. Pingo Doce Radio ensures 15-minute radio broadcast in stores before opening and, one day a month, it broadcasts music selected by employees.
