Sener has renewed its ‘efr’ certification as a family-responsible entity, awarded by the Másfamilia Foundation, maintaining the B level of ‘Proactive Company’. Fundación Másfamilia is a private non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the reconciliation of work, personal and family life in companies and in society through initiatives such as the ‘efr’ certification (family-responsible entity).

The recognition highlights the implementation of a management model and policies that facilitate the balance between work, personal and family life and is endorsed by the Ministry of Social Rights and 2030 Agenda in Spain; it is also internationally recognized and is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Certified companies are periodically evaluated on their commitment to equal opportunities, work flexibility and the well-being of their employees, as well as conciliation and diversity.

In this way, and in accordance with an external evaluation carried out by AENOR, Sener certifies once again its commitment to the reconciliation of the work, personal and family life of its people and to a flexible management model.

The award ceremony was held on January 14 at the Sener offices in Tres Cantos, by Rafael Fuertes, general manager of Fundación Másfamilia, and Laura Sánchez, project manager at Fundación Másfamilia, with the participation of Mikel Zahino, director of People Management at Sener, and Ana Úsar, head of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at Sener.

Since its first certification in 2009, Sener has periodically undergone audits that evaluate dozens of reconciliation measures in areas of well-being such as quality in employment, flexibility, family support, development and training, and equal opportunities.

Sener, leader in engineering and technology, has introduced generative artificial intelligence to improve the productivity, efficiency and quality of services among its 4,000 professionals worldwide.

With the help of AI Lab (a team created to promote the use of AI within Sener and presented in February this year), Sener is implementing the use of Generative AI in all areas and disciplines, with a clear objective: to improve the solutions it delivers to its customers, maximise the quality of its services and offer innovative and differentiating solutions.

The team at AI Lab has identified more than 200 use cases, and it has executed concept tests that have validated the success of applying Generative AI, by achieving major efficiencies and productivity improvements. All these improvements are being implemented into Sener’s projects, benefiting its customers by delivering disruptive solutions and services.

The assistant Microsoft Pilot Web is one of the tools that have been implemented, and an adoption project is currently being carried out for Microsoft Copilot 365.
