Our People

We continuously invest in the development and enhancement of our people, fostering a community where individual skills and talents come together synergistically, enabling us to innovate, grow, and compete effectively in the market. For this reason, we are committed to ensuring both the professional and personal development of all our employees. With this in mind, we adopt a range of transversal tools and processes to cultivate a collaborative and inclusive work environment, marked by open dialogue, continuous feedback, and a genuine appreciation of diversity.

These elements are the foundation of our People Strategy, which, by aligning HR objectives with business goals, serves as our main instrument for creating a corporate climate where people feel motivated to give their best and are ready to face the challenges of an ever-evolving market. Our commitment to the effective implementation of the Group People Strategy has been acknowledged by the Top Employers Institute, which certified the quality of our people management and development processes as well as our working environment, including Fincantieri among the companies certified as Top Employer Italy 2025.

An integral part of the People Strategyis our Employee Value Proposition (EVP) "People on Board", which represents the unique combination of tangible and intangible values and benefits we offer our employees. It guides our people’s journey at every stage — from attraction, recruitment, and onboarding, to development processes, career growth, and continuous engagement. Through an integrated and comprehensive approach, we ensure that our employees are properly equipped to meet the evolving needs of our business and to contribute to our long-term success.

Employee Engagement Survey

We foster a culture of dialogue, building relationships based on trust and transparency, with the aim of listening to everyone's needs and expectations, improving the quality of working life, and gathering and valuing suggestions and ideas.

To this end, we have implemented a valuable tool: the Employee Engagement Survey, a questionnaire addressed to all Group employees (regardless of contractual level or workplace location). The purpose of the Employee Engagement Survey is to:

• assess the engagement and motivation of our people;

• gather their feedback regarding their professional experience;

• measure the quality of the organizational climate, including job satisfaction, internal motivation, perceived well-being, and stress management;

• initiate a process of continuous improvement in the employee experience.

The survey specifically explores key aspects of the organization, such as engagement, management effectiveness, employee experience, and confidence in the future. It is a cornerstone tool for measuring organizational climate and guiding initiatives that promote the centrality of people.

The 2024 Employee Engagement Survey involved over 17,500 employees, achieving an overall response rate of 84%. Compared to the previous year, there was an improvement in engagement across all 11 dimensions analyzed, 9 of which recorded results that were in line with or above the manufacturing sector average. The most noteworthy areas include Engagement, Safety, Top Management Effectiveness, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Ethics, Culture and Values, as well as Team Effectiveness.

The overall engagement rate reached 78%, marking an increase of 3 percentage points compared to 2023 and consolidating a positive growth trend. In particular, the dimensions of Safety, Confidence in the Future, and Engagement continue to stand out as key strengths of the organization.

These positive results reflect our ongoing commitment to improving employee satisfaction and overall experience, with particular attention to cultural change, placing people at the center also through greater accountability and the consequent empowerment of individuals.
