The innovation behind Snam's company welfare system
Corporate welfare is the set of operations – both as monetary support and services – which increases the level of social protection and the purchasing power of employees and can indirectly generate a good working environment.
The company’s welfare system was created over time with the goal of accommodating the emerging needs and requirements of the corporate population.
Digital culture and the well-being of people are the drivers of the new 2018 welfare plan, reorganised around five areas of intervention: Family, Education, Work/Life Balance, Well-being and leisure time, Health. Five areas and 28 services (including corporate and contractual) to respond to the current needs and requirements of the company.
One of the most interesting new features is dediCARE (Family area), a service that helps resolve large and small family problems, from care of the elderly to school tuition fees, to babysitting services.
In the age of digital communication, the Educational area guides children, teenagers and adults to the correct use of the web and social media through Coding Generation courses and Digital Education courses, while in the Well-being and leisure time area there are plans for workshops dedicated to Food Education, Financial Education and Mindfulness, namely awareness of the self and the outside environment.
During the year the agreements with the Trade Unions organisations on the “Welfare Bonus” and the Smart Working project designed to provide a better response to the work/life balance were renewed.
In 2018 more than 470 employees took advantage of smart working for total of approximately 62,930 hours. The project will continue in 2019 and be extended (around 700 people in the first months of the year).
In particular, with the Welfare Bonus it will be possible for the employees, as an alternative to the total payment of the individual amount of the Participation Bonus, to voluntarily choose whether to convert a percentage of the Bonus into a welfare credit which they can use to purchase services for themselves or for their family members.
