PEOPLE AND CAREERS

While values provide direction, their impact depends on how they are translated into daily actions and consistent outcomes. To make part of everyday life across the organization, Prysmian has developed a competencies model grounded in behavior.

This model ensures that expected behaviors:

• are clear and consistent across roles, geographies, and businesses
• are directly linked to business performance and execution
• can be developed, assessed, and reinforced over time

Each value is translated into a set of behaviors and practical examples, tailored to different levels of responsibility:

• Individual contributors demonstrate accountability, proactive collaboration, responsible experimentation, and inclusive behavior. Examples include flagging risks early, sharing knowledge, piloting ideas, and inviting diverse input.
• Managers focus on enabling teams by clarifying priorities, fostering trust, encouraging innovation, clarifying uncertainties (as illustrated by realigning workloads), managing conflicts constructively, supporting new ideas and responding to mistakes with coaching. Managers shape the challenge, rather than simply solving the challenge at hand.
• Executives lead by example through accountability, promoting cross-functional collaboration, fostering innovation, realizing people potential and embedding belonging in leadership expectations. Examples include acknowledging strategic wins and misses, sponsoring cross-regional initiatives, and making inclusion measurable.
