5. Final comments and proposals

I want to conclude by commenting on my experiences.

The working conditions that the company has for its employees are especially
interesting for both new and old people, observing a high
degree of commitment.

Although intercommunication does not necessarily imply an imperative need, it


exists within the individual's needs.

The direction is exercised by allowing broad personal autonomy with control over the
results.

The expectations of national or international negotiations depend on many


opportunities in the environment, which in the country has improved significantly due to
security strategy implemented.

Finally, I consider it a priority to evaluate the hiring characteristics, since a


salary with its benefits and labor and tax burdens, although it is a guarantee for the
employee stability leads to limitations in measuring results
expected. The alternative of a flexibilization around results-based evaluation
it would be a possibility.

It is worth analyzing whether there is a tool that has already been technically applied and tested.
through a daily or permanent report allows to determine whether what was produced or executed
it represents a benefit over the applied cost.

I feel that the company is setting up an infrastructure for development.


international operations, and that the future will depend very particularly on them.

I conclude by thanking for the opportunity I have had to collaborate with the company.

Sincerely
