| In line with the principle that “a company’s success depends on more than just the right strategy”, the Mediolanum Group increased its investment in human capital in 2014, despite the long-term economic uncertainty affecting the banking sector.
In 2014, 232 new employees were hired, mainly accounting for the 9.1% increase in the workforce compared to 2013. The fundamental elements underlying the Mediolanum Group's competitiveness include its commitment to developing employees with outstanding skills, the active engagement of personnel in processes relevant to them, and a particular focus on the internal communication system to promote a culture of dialogue and the free flow of information. The search for quality-oriented, flexible and highly motivated employees is carried out in complete compliance with the principles of respect and equality . The Mediolanum Group recruits qualified personnel through a structured process that, following principles of fairness and impartiality, ensures the growth and renewal of skills within the company. Personnel selection is coordinated by the Recruitment and Selection Department, created in Spring 2014. The Department is responsible for finding and selecting new personnel, taking into account set budget limits, management requirements and the recruitment plan. The Recruitment and Selection Department has redeveloped and implemented selection processes for the Bank and for the Group's Italian subsidiaries. Being competitive in the today's new environment requires the ability to engage with the market in new ways and to overcome all barriers, including within the organisation.
In the Organisation Department, a study is under way that will lead to the implementation of the "Digital Workplace." This project is aimed at emphasising how information transparency is one of Mediolanum's values, as well as at increasing information sharing between different corporate levels and individuals by redefining the means of support for internal information flows. |
