The Human Factor

A more stimulating and dynamic working environment, capable of capturing energy, achieving aspirations, mobilising forces, fostering relationships and stimulating the exchange of ideas: rapidly becoming not only a better workplace but the best is Cattolica’s ambition.

The aim is to change the narrative on Human Relations, to develop an original organisational path, which is based on the uniqueness of the Group and does not emulate other people’s formulas.

For a change to take place, people must perceive the presence of a set of available alternatives: they must be real options, tangible opportunities.

The basic premise is that in every individual, regardless of the role they play, there is an inner tension that makes them feel that they are active protagonists of change. Cattolica relied on this, on people’s desire to be there and to act, because people are the key element of any transformation.

 

The Training

The total number of training hours provided in 2017 was 36,511.

Cattolica considers its collaborators as resources to be promoted by leveraging tools capable of putting the skills and talents of each individual at the service of the organisation. The development of people and the increase of knowledge are strongly felt priorities, which are pursued through training and updating activities that increase over time.

The idea is to be a “learning organisation”, in which tools, methodologies and training interventions are aimed at the construction, consolidation and enlargement of a widespread culture and skills adapted to the needs of increasingly dynamic scenarios.

Heath and safety

Health and safety in the workplace is an extremely important topic at Cattolica and not just a legal requirement. These issues have an intrinsic value in the larger context of the employees’ well-being.

The Group is adopting safety standards able to minimise the risk of accidents and sickness and disseminate good practices in terms of prevention and safe management of workplaces.

In addition, the Organisation Model based on Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 requires delivering training to all the employees and, in particular, specialised training for each role and position. More specifically, health and safety training must be suited to the specific working activities of each position.

For the sector’s regulatory training on safety, classroom training sessions dedicated to Group collaborators continued, together with an online updating campaign. Online training courses were also issued on the latest developments in relation to Legislative Decree No. 231 of June 8th 2001, on the subject of transposing the Fourth Council Directive against money laundering procedures, aimed at raising awareness of the implications that the regulations will have on organisational structures.

 

Injuries and absenteeism

A total of 19 accidents occurred in 2017, amounting to 824 days of absence. The accident rate is particularly low, as only 3 accidents occurred in the workplace.
