FAMILY FRIENDLY - Corporate Family Responsibility (CFR)
We have incorporated the work life balance culture because we believe that work shall not be a barrier to family care responsibility, because we believe that work shall not be a barrier to women employment and because we do believe that better employee wellbeing is linked to company productivity.
We have introduced several family friendly measures:
- Internal nursery for children under 3 years old
- Time flexibility
- Part-time
- Remote work
- Additional paid parental time off
- Parental leave wage integration
- Additional time off in case of children’s disease
- Bonus for the birth of children
- Additional time off for family care
- Postal service for received parcel
- Canteen
- Welfare options
- Commercial agreements with local shops
In 2018 we have been certified Family Audit by our Autonomus Province of Trento. Family Audit standard is an instrument allowing public and private sector organisations to carry out internal surveys into their own workplace organisation. It is a managerial instrument adopted on a voluntary basis by organisations intending to certify their constant commitment to creating a balance between working and personal/family life.
We have prepared a 3 years Activity Plan to implement several structural, cultural and communication solutions in line with the need of the employees and the company.
