The Human Factor

The Training

2020 was also characterised by the evolution of the methods used to implement training projects. In fact, the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the process of adopting digital tools to create webinars and online courses, which allowed the continuity of the scheduled plans.

The #Learningneverstop training course with online snippets was launched. It is for all Group colleagues, focusing on increasing their skills of organisational management, time, space, communication and the digital tools available, but also to better address the sudden discontinuity in the way of working due to the continuous remote working caused by lockdown. A module for exploring remote team management has been addressed to resource managers.

The new leadership for best performance training module was dedicated to Group managers: six months of training with as many webinar courses for an overall reflection on the changes underway and for the development of new skills on: new ways of working (with agile working tools and methods, also addressed to Group professionals), management and development of the team (with The manager’s three hats), performance management system (with With Talks) and, since 2021, on digital leadership and new digital collaboration tools.

Heath and safety

The Parent Company shares the structure and the figures in charge of the Prevention and Protection Service (SPP) with the companies in the Group and indicated in the perimeter, with the exclusion of some small companies that are not yet included in the unified Protection system.

The objective is to harmonise health and safety policies and make compliance management and resource optimisation more efficient. The Group companies with coordinated supervision have a single Delegate for safety, as provided by art. 16 of Italian Legislative Decree 81/08, who is assigned all the duties of the Employer, except those that cannot be delegated.

The mentioned SPP has its office in the Verona headquarters, while the position of Prevention and Protection Service Manager (RSPP) is entrusted to external consultants. The role of Company Doctor (MC) is given to four external professionals based on a territorial division, with one appointed doctor serving as coordinator. The MCs carry out their surveillance upon convocation by the SPP, for employees whose surveillance is expiring or require new surveillance and is carried out mainly at the offices.

Meetings and sharing with other prevention stakeholders (DDL, SPP, RLS) are also planned, to promote cooperation relating to risk prevention and protection between the parties.

For the dissemination of good practices relating to health and safety, the following are envisaged: an anti-flu vaccination campaign offered to workers, facilitated agreements with gyms and sports facilities to promote sports, meetings on aspects related to nutrition and well-being, postural gymnastics webinars and incentives for the consumption of fresh fruit through its supply in the offices.

Third parties who have relations of a professional or commercial nature with the company are also considered from the point of view of health and safety impact and, based also on the different risk level, are treated with various approaches of an informative, prescriptive and control nature.
