The Association de Estudios Almerienses (AEA) is a state-wide non-profit organisation, founded on 27 August 2010, which dedicates its efforts to the integral help and support of people, through social intervention and labour integration. Its main purposes are to carry out all kinds of activities related to education and training, as well as complementary or accessory operations to these purposes for the full development of employment and training.

Through this best practice they will see how team spirit, which is so necessary in the workplace and which does not depend on age, can be fostered. The aim of this practice is to show how sport can be configured as a team-building activity in the workplace and thus provide internal cohesion for older workers.

In line with the fundamental objectives of our association, which are none other than to be an entity of reference in the generation of social value, providing quality services in favour of the integral development of people in situations of exclusion through the acquisition and improvement of their personal autonomy and the socio-labour skills necessary for their full integration. The Asociación de Estudios Almerienses (AEA) aims to be a place of recognised prestige for professionalism and values. They intend their association to be a model for other associations to follow and to generate positive synergies in the generation of quality employment for really vulnerable people. That is why their practices within the association are perceived by workers as highly motivating and even transferable to any other company. And it is in this sense that they feel committed to the requalification of older people.

The main lines of their mission is to be a space for initiatives and the generation of socio-labour proposals whose priority is to make the socio-labour insertion of people through training a reality. They want to be an entity of reference in the generation of social value, providing quality services in favour of the integral development of people in situations of exclusion through the acquisition and improvement of their personal autonomy and the socio-labour skills necessary for their full integration.

In their case, the success has been none other than to carry out activities that promote coexistence within the company. Among them, joint sports such as paddle tennis or football have allowed them to strengthen relationships and for the younger employees to create relationships and synergies with the older ones to help and train them in an almost “uncommitted” way among friends. All of this is based on “Pleasant moments”, all those that are experienced when a close relationship is established, rejoicing in the joys of our colleagues.

The management of human resources over 55 and their requalification depend on the employee’s desire to learn new skills. Their association is very committed to sport and it is in this area that they understand that actions that encourage coexistence within the company will help the worker to feel happier and more eager to continue advancing within the company.

To ensure that the team is happy with what they do and is motivated with a motivation that goes beyond the material, the association follows a series of guidelines, among which is to do sport in the company.

In this way, they organise team breaks and team sports where employees can disconnect from work and connect with each other. It is about spending time with the team to get to know each other better and thus facilitate synergy and support between colleagues.

In their case implementing was easy, when they transferred it to other companies, generally the HR managers believe in it. Generally, it takes a minimum period of 2 to 3 months to find that group cohesion and happiness in the employees.
