Interview

Developing flexible learning opportunities to make people protagonists in their own development is one of our HR strategic goals. One of the main initiatives in this regard is the promotion of circulation of staff in an increasingly common policy of job rotation. 2020 introduced a number of important innovations in the field of in-company mobility: with the introduction of a support channel, the whole company has been given the chance to indicate their own areas of interest and motivational aspects to consider in career evolution in other roles and departments/companies in the Group.

Over 450 colleagues have already welcomed this opportunity, laying the ground for exchange activity which has already created some work mobility initiatives. One such example is Lidia Addesa who, after a number of years in the IT Systems Department, embarked on a new experience in the Commercial Innovation and Operations department of Herambiente. “The support channel was a chance for me to indicate my willingness to undertake an internal exchange initiative. I talked to Personnel and they supported me in my application when the right opportunity for me came up”. The company has for some time now offered the possibility of professional experiences in other departments/locations, as in the case of Tobia Desalvo, who enjoyed different experiences in the Central Market Administration and Waste Management department. “Thanks to the internal exchange scheme, my 15 years in Hera have been a journey of discovery within the company. I have been able to expand and develop my existing professional skills, in very different contexts.”
