We are FCC - Nº6

Interview Post on the project The interview wasconducted with FCC’s ambassador, Gustavo Gar- cia, head of administration at FCC Construcción’s headquarters. This radio program has been the first to become accessible to deaf people. Gustavo explained FCC Construc- ción’s equality and diversity project. This interview was broadcast on so- cial networks and in the Diario Qué, which has 1.5 million users and 4 mi- llion hits per month. Gustavo is the father of two children, Daniel and Adrian. Daniel, 14, has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which has never stopped him from being like any other child his age. He is responsible for the administration of FCC Construcción’s central servi- ces. He has been with the company for 23 years and, as he describes himself, his job is to help many co- lleagues who need his help on a day- to-day basis. FCC Construcción has been working for more than 10 years on the norma- lisation, inclusion and integration of its employees. FCC Construcción’s staff has welcomed this initiative. “It is a commitment to people and personally, I am proud that the com- pany where I work has broken the mould in this area and that, despite the crisis, it continued to believe in the social inclusion of people” - says Gustavo in the programme. “There are three ambassadors who demonstrate that despite having a disability they are just another Com- pany employee and that they bring a lot of values to the rest of their colleagues. In addition, there is an ambassador who has people with disabilities in her charge and passes on her experience, making it clear to employees that these people are just as valid as the rest,” says Gustavo, “In my case, I was elected to be am- bassador as a representative of Plan Familia. We are parents who have people with disabilities in our family. FCC helps us through programs so that my son can improve and beco- me one more member of this society. “Although it is not a situation you are looking for, once it comes into your life, you have to try to see it in the best possible way. In our case, my son has different abilities, so what you have to do is work. The more you do it, the more rewards you get and, in the end, you see that life goes on The FCC Group’s Construction area participated in the “Unsurpassed Lives” radio programme, presenting the enpositivofcc project and that we can all be happy,” exp- lains Gustavo. Face it fearlessly and positively From his experience, when an unfo- reseen situation of this kind arises in any family, “it must be normalised. There’s no need to be afraid to face it. Every morning I wake up thinking that my son is going to learn new things, that he is going to have new friends and that he is going to partici- pate in everything that others do.
