We are talking about the only family company in Spain with comprehensive solutions for the technological support of companies, Nunsys . After the recent acquisition of the Valencian technology company Sothis ; Nunsys – controlled by Paco Gavilán – is established with 1,520 workers and a turnover that this year will exceed 140 million; as one of the largest national technology companies. The first, if we take into account its family nature. She has participated together with Actiu , the leading Spanish company in the design and manufacture of work spaces, in the Family Business Chair of the University of Valencia promoted, among others, by the Valencian Association of Entrepreneurs (AVE). The objective: address the attraction of talent in the family business. Carmen Berbegal , director of Actiu and CSR director and deputy to the People Area, began her intervention with a recognition of the figure of the businessman; highlighting the complexity of the current moments where “the capacity for resilience and maintaining focus” is essential. “We are now more than acrobats and psychologists combined ,” she joked. In this sense, he recalled how the Alicante company – founded in 1968 by his father, Vicente Berbegal –; is specialized in the design and manufacture of furniture for work environments, hospitality and collective spaces; and aims to improve the productivity and satisfaction of its users. “We seek to provide everyone who interacts with our spaces with the best experience and maximum efficiency ,” he stated. Thus, he recalled that when the crisis hit, in 2009, the company had to “reconvert and diversify” its product portfolio even more. “


We had just made some very powerful investments and inaugurated our Technology Park; totally sustainable – in fact, it is the first industrial company in the world to be accredited with the Well V2 Platinum and Leed Platinum certifications ; and we could not stop growing and meeting our commitments . ” To do this, they relied on the manufacturing fabric of the toy valley, giving many companies in the area “the opportunity to remain and establish talent in the territory.” Currently, the company employs around 400 people directly and another 400 indirectly. Its team (250 of them oriented to the industrial part: operators, technicians, engineers...); It is made  Country Email List up of around twenty nationalities and has an average age of close to 41 years. Berbegal explains that “because we are part of the family we do not occupy area management positions; We are advisors and we are leading specific areas of the organization; but our role is to support the most valid people, the most valuable to the organization” ; maintaining a “ very fluid” and “direct” relationship with them; “We go up and down, which allows us to interact with all types of positions ,” she acknowledges. The candidates knock on the door The talent that the Actiu structure draws on, according to Berbegal, is both internal and external, with managers coming from other parts of the national and international territory; searching “beyond capabilities and competencies” , always “affinity” .





And the main thing for the company is that they fit perfectly with its culture; “ very focused on values ​​such as sustainability, flexibility, adaptation…” and warns “ if the person does not live the company culture, he will have a short-term journey . ” He admits that the fact of communicating his values ​​a lot and, above all, working on them on a daily basis, has given them a “very good reputation and brand image” ; something that in relation to human resources “saves us: time and resources.” “Offers from very prepared candidates come to us spontaneously and directly; For us, employees are not a number – as could happen in a multinational – they are people, who we accompany in their personal and professional performance ,” he declared. Berbegal considers it essential to convey career plans and ways to continue growing in the organization to all employees. “We also bet a lot on intrapreneurship; “We give the confidence and support necessary so that our people can lead projects.” Among them, a project that they carry out in collaboration with an entrepreneur from Alcoy with the scraps of the fabrics that they recycled after their developments stood out; Now they have a new life in the form of bags, backpacks or toiletry bags.
