globe to Denver, Colorado, to learn more about the company's history and mission. In total, ProLogis spent more than $1.6 million for employee training in 2007. Moving forward, we have increased our commitment to training with the establishment of a new Training and Development department. All of our employees receive regular performance reviews, and in 2007, we established an enhanced performance review system to increase the consistency of feedback at the corporate level. We also have a compensation tracking program, a metrics data program and an internship program for career development. Approximately 36% of our employees have been trained in ProLogis' anticorruption policies and procedures. We have had no acts of corruption take place, nor have we had to engage in any legal actions to address anti-competitive, anti-trust or monopoly practices. We believe that our relationships with our employees are good, and our employees are generally not represented by any collective bargaining agreements. Additionally, as construction is typically outsourced to contractors, the vast majority of ProLogis associates are employed in administrative or managerial positions. Therefore the company does not experience a significant number of health or safety issues.
HUMAN RIGHTS ProLogis will recruit, hire, train, promote and compensate candidates for employment and our current associates without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, national origin, disability or sexual orientation. All other personnel actions, including, but not limited to, disciplinary action and fringe benefits programs, will be based on the same principles. In North America, ProLogis had two incidents of discrimination raised during the year. Our attorneys have responded to both incidents, and they are still open. Neither Europe nor Asia reported any discrimination incidents. Currently, ProLogis Human Resources associates with hiring responsibility typically attend at least one diversity-related career fair each year. ProLogis follows all relevant federal and state laws applicable to individuals with disabilities, Vietnam-era and disabled veterans and endeavors to maintain guidelines and practices that meet the standards required by law.
