Company Welfare

We consider welfare to be a strongly innovative tool compared to traditional remuneration and incentive measures, destined to become an integral part of modern and efficient resource management.

For this reason, we have implemented a welfare model capable of positively impacting people's wellbeing and, at the same time, able to respond to the modern dynamics of the job market and the Company, allowing for improved labour relationships and the organizational climate.

The welfare system allows access to a wide range of goods and services:

With regard to supplementary health care, the Company has been a member of the Health Fund for steelworkers with a supplementary health care plan for employees and dependent family members, also covered free of charge.

With the new supplementary labour agreement, the Company has introduced special insurance coverage, in order to guarantee welfare benefits aimed at recognising treatment in cases of loss of self-sufficiency, so-called Long-Term Care, and permanent disability from nonoccupational illness and accidents, to protect workers from serious and dramatic impacts on their personal lives.

Starting from September 2022, the agreement previously signed with the Trade Unions was implemented to make agile work structural at the end of the emergency period with the aim of pursuing significant increases in employees' personal wellbeing, simultaneously fostering a better balance between work and personal needs and the development of their respective professional skills by enhancing their degree of autonomy and orientation towards objectives and results, while strengthening the relationship of trust with their managers. This agreement, following specific regulatory provisions enacted during 2022, was applied extensively in favour of vulnerable workers and parents with children under 14.

As part of Fincantieri’s welfare system, of particular importance is the well-established network of company clubs that organize initiatives that meet the needs of personnel, such as “after-school” activities, recreational, sports and cultural activities, holiday camps, and support for the purchase of schoolbooks for employees' children.

We have launched a project for the creation of company crèches at the various Italian company sites, which can support parents in managing their children during working hours.

"Fincantiesimo", the first company crèche, open 11 months a year and with a service covering the entire working day with access to flexible time slots, was built inside the headquarters of the Merchant Ships Division in Trieste and the first school year started in September 2022. A second facility is planned to become operational in October 2023, in the former workers' hotel in Monfalcone, a symbolic location for Fincantieri's historical bond with the local area.
These initiatives are the cornerstone of a series of activities that we are activating in order to facilitate the work-life balance of our people, with a particular focus on the importance of parenthood and support for working women returning from maternity leave.
