The recognition came during the eleventh edition of the Prize that analyses and valorises the performance of the most important Italian companies in the utility sector
We have always focused on developing our personnel and considered training as a key element. This commitment has now earned us first place in the “Training” category of the eleventh edition of the Top Utility award, which each year analyses and valorises the evolution and performance of the 100 largest utilities operating in Italy in the electricity, gas, water and waste management sectors.
We received the prize “for the completeness of its training programmes in terms of topics covered and duration, as well as for the attention given to employees’ needs for in-depth training, based on their different characteristics and tasks”.
Training and developing skills, to rise to future challenges
We continue to show our extensive and concrete commitment to corporate training and people development policies, which are one of the Group’s cornerstones. In 2022 alone, 97% of Hera’s workforce, including the most operational part, was involved in courses totalling over 270 thousand hours, equivalent to roughly 30 hours of training per capita, well above the sector average. We guide our choices with an eye to the future, not only in terms of professional growth and skills development, but also with a view to acquiring talented people who can make a contribution to meeting tomorrow’s challenges, first and foremost the energy and environmental transition.
One key element in this area continues to be our corporate university, HerAcademy, founded in 2011 with the purpose of generating new knowledge and responding to trends seen in the context, including debate on current issues and collaborations with leading national and international institutions.
