for companies: obligations"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Professional training is an essential component for the sustainable development of companies and the individual progress of employees.<br \/>\nIn this article, we clarify the essential aspects of training for companies, from the applicable legislation to the different types of training available and mandatory. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are your legal obligations?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/diariodarepublica.pt\/dr\/legislacao-consolidada\/lei\/2009-34546475-124448606\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Labor Code<\/a>, companies have a responsibility to provide professional training for their workers, ensuring that they develop their skills and adapt to the demands of the market.<br \/>\nIt makes it compulsory for all companies to provide at least <strong>40 hours of continuous training per year to 10% of their workers<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIn the case of fixed-term employment contracts lasting three months or more, the number of hours of training each year is proportional to the length of the contract in that year.  <\/p>\n<p>In addition, the legislation establishes that companies must draw up an annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sepri.pt\/pt\/noticia\/6-passos-criar-plano-forma%C3%A7%C3%A3o-empresa\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Training Plan<\/a>, which must cover a <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/102GoLHkIY_njOMxwtPKnF8NG5t3WG7-B\/view?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">variety of areas<\/a> and identify training needs, in accordance with the organization&#8217;s strategic objectives and the skills required by the functions performed.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What training is mandatory in Portugal?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Legislation in Portugal establishes clear requirements regarding the mandatory training that companies must provide to their employees.<br \/>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/files.dre.pt\/1s\/2019\/09\/16900\/0003500051.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Law no. 93\/2019, of September 4,<\/a> and the Labor Code are legal instruments that regulate this issue. <\/p>\n<p>Mandatory training can vary depending on the company&#8217;s sector of activity and the specifics of the work carried out.<br \/>\nWhile legislation lays down general requirements, the exact nature of the training required can be determined by various ordinances, regulations and collective bargaining agreements.<br \/>\nIt is therefore essential to consult the sector-specific legislation and regulations applicable to the company for precise guidance on mandatory training.  <\/p>\n<p>In general terms, the employer must draw up a Training Plan in collaboration with the employees, identifying training needs and outlining a plan to address them effectively.<br \/>\nThis process involves a careful survey of training needs in order to meet legal requirements and promote the professional development of employees. <\/p>\n<p>However, there are some training courses common to several companies that may be mandatory or highly recommended, for example:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sepri.pt\/pt\/noticia\/formacao-seguranca-saude-trabalho-empresas-sepri\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Health and Safety at

companies must have staff trained in first aid to deal with emergencies in the workplace until specialized help arrives.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Fire Prevention and Fighting Training<\/strong>: companies must have staff trained to act in the event of a fire and to prevent its occurrence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Training for companies: what are the advantages?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Investing in employee training brings numerous advantages for companies, such as<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Increased productivity: <\/strong>employees who undergo constant training tend to be more productive, as they acquire specific skills that enable them to carry out their tasks more efficiently and effectively.<br \/>\n <a
