Cooperatives make investments in the education of their teams, and also in society, to fulfill their precepts of transparency, appreciation of work, free adherence, sharing of decisions and interest in community.
According to the social report carried out by Unimed in 2020, the Unimed system invested more than BRL 49.5 million in programs related to education, training professional and personal development for its employees, cooperative doctors and communities, which demonstrates the commitment that the company has with education in the country.
And due to this commitment, in 1995, the Unimed Foundation was created, an educational arm of the company that years later became a college with courses in management, health and cooperativism. The institution offers postgraduate, short-term and improvement courses, in addition to a series of free options for the entire community.
There are many examples that demonstrate the power that education has to change people's lives. In 2021, Seguros Unimed was chosen the best company to work for among all medium-sized companies in Brazil. Another award received by the Unimed group was the best cooperative education in Brazil.
The group thinks of education as something for everyone and not just for its employees, and that is why it supports social entities that form and train young apprentices. This is the affirmation of the individual and collective commitment to an inclusive education that is equal for all, transforms lives and contribute so that social, economic and technological indicators in Brazil can rise in a healthy way in the coming years years.
