We promote the qualitative growth of our employees through training

In IGD we are convinced that in order to be more competitive we must work to continuously improve the professional skills of our people.  IGD works constantly to meet its employees’ needs for training and refresher courses at all levels. Part of the training activities are organized internally, while for more specialized training needs, IGD supports the participation of employees in external refresher courses.

In 2020 training took place almost exclusively on line.

In Italy, the focus was placed on issues regarding compliance, on updating hard skills and on an experimental project involving an assessment by employees about the repercussions of the pandemic. With regard to compliance, the training programme on Anti-bribery certification, which was started in 2019, was completed by all employees; likewise, the entire workforce was involved in training aimed at disseminating and sharing the contents of the new features introduced in the Organisational Model and in the Code of Ethics. Lastly, the compulsory courses on safety and those for the network regarding the update on environmental regulations were also completed.

With regard to across-the-board skills, an activity called “Virtual Team” was experimented, involving the organisation of meetings for functional teams carried out by remote connection and involving the entire workforce. The aim of each meeting was to discuss important issues relating to the professional and personal experience of the workforce during the emergency situation
caused by the pandemic.

In Romania due to the Covid-19 health emergency, from March onwards it was not possible to carry out the usual group training of the entire workforce that had been carried out in the  previous years. Several employees, however, took part in training activities aimed at increasing their administration, Marketing and PR skills.
