Top Employer for 16 years without interruption
We have been confirmed as one of the best companies in Italy and worldwide in human resource management, thanks to its commitment to combining corporate growth, collective wellbeing and sustainable development
For the sixteenth consecutive year, we have been been certified as a Top Employer for our labour policies.
This is a remarkable achievement, since this certification is among the most significant recognitions internationally given to companies that meet high standards in human resource management by the Top Employers Institute, a global certifier of corporate excellence in HR (Human Resource), based in the Netherlands.
Top Employers Certification is awarded to companies that meet the high standards required by the HR Best Practices Survey. The analysis, which is highly attentive and increasingly selective from year to year, covers 6 macro-areas related to human resource management and examines in depth 20 different topics and the respective best practices, including: recognition of people and their professionalism, work environment, career opportunities, training and development, valuing diversity, fairness and inclusion, and well-being.
This year the Top Employers programme recognised and certified 2,429 Top Employers in 125 countries worldwide, including the Hera Group.
The main strengths that enabled us to achieve this important result are: safety, procurement, sustainability, inclusion, wellbeing and people development.
In these areas, investments coming to 60 million euro have been planned for the 2024-2027 four-year period in staff training, a third of which will be dedicated to safety. 2,600 new hires are also foreseen along with many initiatives for the development of new skills, to support parents, frail people, caregivers and to valorise different abilities. The Group’s investment in and commitment to the growth and wellbeing of its people includes combating gender-based violence and promoting inclusion.
The good quality of life of the Group’s over 10,000 employees is also supported by its extensive welfare plan, offering them a wide range of services, in which the company invests 18 million euro every year.
The most significant initiatives include free psychological support sessions, personalised diet plans and sessions with physiotherapists and posturologists, health promotion and prevention programmes with free check-ups and screenings, initiatives to support parenting and childhood education, and sustainable mobility.
