Our AFM Life training program is offered to every single employee in our company, built to enrich our employees' futures as professionals. An intensive analysis is completed annually so we can design customized trainings to equip each individual employee with the set of skills needed to grow. We use company feedback, assessments, and each employee's personal aspirations to help them enhance their skills and day-to-day mastery.

We owe it to our employees to care about their careers and to tell them the truth. Our company's 360-degree assessment program embraces those ideals, created to analyze areas of opportunity that can be improved and identify which unique talents are being used strategically. The assessment engenders self- and company accountability while giving our employees control over their career paths and pushing them in their goals. Using the results of each assessment, we can support our employees through coaching, quarterly reviews, and the AFM Life training program.

Our baseball cards are scorecards that show our employees where they are today, where they need to be tomorrow, and what they need to accomplish to get there. From how we collaborate, what others report in their 360 assessments, and what our direct managers observe, our scorecard system acts as a personal roadmap to becoming the best version of ourselves we can be. These visionary roadmaps are what enable our team to achieve big things.

AFM is on Fast Company's list of 100 Best Workplaces for Innovators, but we're always striving to improve that position - and improvement begins with employee engagement. Our employee engagement training addresses every member at every level, creating an experiential, transformational, and unified culture. This transparency across the entire organization helps our employees cherish their purpose from day to day, gives them the autonomy to grow and develop, and provides a clear vision of the impact they have on the company's success - all while keeping us connected through our culture of Mexicanity. Through this company engagement, our people can produce their best work, contribute their discretionary effort to drive results, and always be improving.

We value an environment of collaboration and offer trainings, such as Myers Briggs, that help to identify our similarities and differences, working styles, and inherent hardwiring. Learning a shared language helps us to improve our communication and work better as a team and is included in our Baseball Cards as a continuous reference.

In 2020, we provided our employees with an exclusive innovation workshop developed by Yale University. The weeklong workshop was led by some of the most qualified professors in the nation, who provided seminars on driving innovation, functioning as a dynamic, high-performing team, cultivating an organizational culture, and much more.
