The competitiveness best practices of the Human Resources Leaders (Il Sole 24 Ore, 7 November 2018 – Vittorio De Luca)

From the smart working extended also to the call center operators of American Express to favour the balance between private and professional life, to the interactive training platform that FCA Group made available to thousands of employees in 13 countries in the world to help promote skill building. From Rai Way’s creation of a new professional figure – the multiskilled technician – and establishing a “time bonus” (additional paid leave hours for the best fixed-term employees), to the initiative agreed upon by AFV Acciaierie Beltrame and the trade unions for the redistribution of the value created by employees who had accepted the relaunch plan to help the company emerge from the crisis. From the sharing of results even with participation in stock ownership plans and welfare services promoted by Bricoman Italia, to the integrated welfare system offered by Farco Group. These are six finalist projects (three for the listed companies category and three for the unlisted category) for the Excellence & Innovation HR Award promoted by the law firm De Luca & Partners. The Award is intended for businesses operating in Italy, with the goal of disseminating the best practices in the world of work and in the HR management sector. The two winners, selected by a jury, will be announced on Tuesday, 27 November, during an event at Palazzo Giureconsulti in Milan, based on criteria such as the ability to encourage competitiveness and productivity, promoting social cohesion and the resolution of disputes, pursue the development and the wellbeing of individuals, the breadth of vision and scope, and inclusiveness. “We would like to promote a reflection on the inspiring principles of the best initiatives, that were able to combine competitiveness with the wellbeing of the business and the individuals that work in it”, stated Vittorio De Luca, managing partner of the law firm.
