Human Talent

PEOPLE ARE GRUPO AVAL’S GREATEST ASSET

Why is human talent the cornerstone of Grupo Aval?

Grupo Aval views people as the primary driver of progress. For this reason, it actively creates dynamic and collaborative environments where every professional can grow, innovate, and lead the way in building a more inclusive and sustainable financial future.

OUR TALENT STRATEGY

The Group’s value proposition focuses on attracting, compensating, developing, and retaining the best talent in the region. Currently, it comprises a workforce of more than 68,500 professionals—including direct employees, temporary staff, and strategic partners—who drive the ongoing success of the Group’s companies.

This corporate strategy is based on three key pillars:

Culture of diversity: Fostering workplaces based on synergy, mutual respect, and equity.
Professional development: Providing clear paths for learning and growth so that every employee can maximize their skills.
Purpose and innovation: Promoting a healthy work environment that inspires disruptive solutions and connects individual talent with Colombia’s economic progress.
Occupational Safety and Health.

How do we ensure safe and healthy workspaces?

The safety and overall well-being of our teams are non-negotiable corporate priorities. To ensure this, we operate under a robust Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS), strictly aligned with Decree 1072 of 2015, Resolution 312 of 2019, and current regulations in Colombia.

This system supports our operations through technical, human, and financial resources focused on the proactive identification of risks and the prevention of accidents. In this way, we promote a culture of self-care that guarantees optimal, safe, and reliable work environments for employees, suppliers, contractors, and visitors.

AVAL DNA

At Grupo Aval, we are an organization guided by a shared vision: to be the Aval that drives progress for millions of Colombians. Our culture is the foundation of everything we do and is built daily through our decisions, the way we work, and how we interact with our customers, employees, suppliers, investors, shareholders, and communities.

By 2025, we will turn that vision into a tangible reality through the Aval DNA, composed of seven pillars that reflect the behaviors and principles guiding our actions and which we share with all our employees. These pillars represent our identity as a Group and guide the way we approach every conversation, every challenge, and every achievement:

OUR CLIENTS ALWAYS COME FIRST

Our clients lead the way. Every decision we make starts with the client: we listen with empathy, understand deeply, anticipate their needs and expectations, act with conviction, and understand the impact of even the smallest gestures.

WE DELIVER RESULTS

We deliver on our promises. We are committed every day to achieving our goals with discipline, excellence, effectiveness, and efficiency, to make a real impact on our clients, companies, and the country. We are inspired by the challenge of generating results and taking responsibility for them, within a framework of sustainability and by creating greater value for our shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders.

WE TAKE OWNERSHIP

We treat challenges as our own, act with initiative, and take responsibility for the results. We know that success comes through hard work, and we don’t wait for others to solve problems: we take action, find solutions, and move forward.

TRUST UNITES US

We always do the right thing. We act with integrity, honesty, respect, and consistency. We protect our reputation. We believe that teamwork produces better results, and that is why we build relationships of trust based on collaboration, where people can express their opinions, ask questions, disagree, and reach consensus.

WE KEEP IT SIMPLE

We make things happen without overcomplicating them. We grow and take on large projects, and we do so by prioritizing what’s essential, eliminating what’s unnecessary, and acting with agility. We trust, delegate, and simplify so that solutions come faster and are better.

WE INNOVATE

We foster creativity and change. We question, learn, and continuously improve. We dare to try, learn from our mistakes, and build on what we’ve learned.

WE ARE TALENT

Our greatest asset is Aval’s talent. We promote development, well-being, and collaboration in a respectful, honest, productive, diverse, and high-performing work environment that allows us to attract and retain the best talent.

INTEGRIDAD Y ÉTICA

La integridad constituye el pilar fundamental sobre el cual edificamos todas nuestras relaciones y operaciones. Estamos comprometidos con un actuar honesto, transparente y responsable en cada una de nuestras interacciones, tanto internas como externas. Guiados por principios éticos, tomamos decisiones y realizamos acciones que se ajustan a los más elevados estándares de conducta.

Creemos que el liderazgo implica empoderar a nuestros colaboradores, estimular la generación de valor y crear un entorno donde cada individuo pueda alcanzar su máximo potencial. Valoramos la habilidad para impulsar cambios positivos, promoviendo la colaboración y manteniendo una visión estratégica.

INNOVACIÓN Y CREATIVIDAD

Creemos que la innovación no solo se origina en la adopción de tecnologías avanzadas, sino también en la creatividad humana y en la disposición para desafiarnos a nosotros mismos cada día. Inspiramos a nuestro equipo a pensar más allá de los límites convencionales y a acoger las oportunidades que ofrece el cambio, promoviendo un enfoque proactivo hacia la mejora continua. Constantemente buscamos nuevas formas de abordar desafíos, anticiparnos a las necesidades del mercado y ofrecer soluciones vanguardistas a nuestros grupos de interés.

JUSTICIA Y RESPETO

Valoramos la equidad y la imparcialidad, comprometidos con asegurar que cada miembro de nuestro equipo sea tratado con respeto y dignidad, independientemente de su posición. Promovemos un trato justo en todas las relaciones. Fomentamos la diversidad, la equidad y la inclusión, reconociendo que la fortaleza de nuestro equipo humano radica en la multiplicidad de perspectivas y experiencias.

COMPROMISO CON LA EXCELENCIA

La excelencia es un pilar que impacta cada aspecto de nuestra gestión, dedicándonos permanentemente a alcanzar los más altos estándares de calidad en todo lo que hacemos y en todas las facetas de nuestra organización. La excelencia es la herramienta fundamental que nos impulsa diariamente en nuestro desempeño y nos diferencia en el mercado, superando las expectativas y construyendo un legado de calidad que perdure en el tiempo.
