Never before has the care for the individual been so crucial for organisational success. And with the creation of Gi Group Holding, our mission is increasingly clear: to contribute to the evolution of the sustainable labour market and to emphasize the personal and social value of work.
Among the priorities of the company’s people-first strategy is the promotion of Sustainable Work: a purposeful thread that is woven throughout the entire Holding’s activities. Through Sustainable Work, Gi Group Holding aims to elevate industry standards through activities that promote a shared, multi-stakeholder responsibility in helping achieve living and working conditions that support people throughout an extended working life. In fact, Sustainable Work refers to:
- People: Helping grasp the meaning and value of work, taking care of psycho-physical well-being, investing in the development of hard and soft skills, and building professional and leadership relationships.
- Companies: Improving resiliency, prioritising innovation and value creation, and investing in human capital. Additionally, promoting diversity and inclusion, reducing waste and paying attention to key environmental issues.
- Institutions: Developing and supporting active labour policies, fighting undeclared work and tax evasion, promoting sustainable flexibility, reducing skills mismatch and promoting training to enhance people’s employability.
