The news regarding EU regulations and the changes in the Network: “First who keeps the pace” (Affari & Finanza, 21 May 2018 – Vittorio De Luca)

De Luca & Partners, historical Milan-based labour and employment law firm, has launched the Excellence & Innovation HR Award, an award for human resources management, to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

“Technological evolution imposes market changes at a speed that was unimaginable just until a few years ago, involving multiple countries to varying degrees. In this scenario, the great challenge for those involved in law is to keep up with innovation and to think in line with the regulation that is at least European community-based “. Vittorio De Luca, Managing Partner of the law firm by the same name, comments in this manner on the judgement issued by the Turin Labour Court which, in recent weeks, has denied recognition of employee status to the riders of Foodora, a multinational company specialized in the home delivery of meals. “The debate is open and involves, on a global scale, not only the so-called ‘gig economy’ jobs, that is to say those services on call for jobs with companies such as Uber and Deliveroo, but all the new forms of flexible work,” states the Managing Partner of De Luca & Partners law firm, historical Milan-based labour and employment firm, which employees about 20 professionals and serves about 400 clients.

To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the professional association has decided to launch the Excellence & Innovation HR Award, an award for companies operating in Italy with the aim of promoting the best practices in the world of employment and management of human resources. “As business consultants, we are usually called to prevent, or where it is too late, to settle conflicts arising in the workplace,” says Vittorio De Luca. “For this reason, we felt the need to bring into the spotlight the most interesting stories that promote social cohesion in organisations and in doing so strengthen their competitiveness, so that good practices can spread on a large scale”.

Read here the interview to Vittorio De Luca published on Affari & Finanza where, speaking of gig economy, work flexibility and innovation, he launched the 2018 edition of the Excellence & Innovation HR Award.
