Founding principles:

1. Personnel selection should ensure both the organisation success and personal consideration for people asking for a job
   
2. Guidance may greatly help employees to use learning opportunities and improve their professional competence
   
3. Training and guidance should be provided continually, to achieve effective results of permanent learning
   
4. Continual training may include interventions aimed to prevent work-related stress and to improve the organisation well-being
   
5. Personal satisfaction and job success are positively related.

Due to number and quality of interventions, only the three first objectives have been retained, reserving for a further meeting the last ones.
