Wellbeing of collaborators

Employment

PSC promotes and respects the physical and cultural integrity of people. For this reason, it mainly guarantees also working conditions that protect individual dignity. In addition, it designs safe working environments that carefully comply with safety standards, along with hygiene protection and health at work.

RECRUITMENT AND TERMINATION

In the following tables, you can check the number of hiring and employee termination in PSC Group in the last three years. Data are detailed and based on parameters such as age, gender and nationality.

The year 2021 sees an increase in the overall turnover rate, mainly influenced by the contribution of the factories of the Brazilian business unit.

BENEFIT

The organization’s collaborators, including part-time and temporary workers, can take advantage of the following benefits:

  • Life insurance
  • Healthcare
  • Invalidity
  • Parental leave
  • Retirement provision
The details of benefits applied to specific categories of workers, in each PSC site, is shown in the appendix on page 110.

Training and Development

It is also thanks to training and staff development that, year after year, PSC Group became increasingly competitive. A virtuous process not only for the company, but also for the human resources themselves who, thanks to the acquisition of new knowledge and skills, are more motivated and rewarded.

The hours of training provided increased in the reporting year compared to the previous one, also thanks to a gradual resumption of faceto- face courses after the blockade due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Also in 2021, the Group’s employees attended several courses, based on a project made dynamic by constant comparison: the one between the skills acquired and those necessary for the company’s development needs, as well as strategic for customers.

  • Specialist and managerial training
The company puts its employees - in particular those belonging to strategic categories - in a position to face their professional challenges with appropriate skills and tools.
  • Language training
PSC has organised foreign language courses for its employees, in order to provide them with the language skills needed to cope with daily work activities.
  • Specific training on occupational safety and environmental issues
In line with the provisions on health and safety at work, compulsory training courses have been organised for new employees. However, on this subject, other resources have followed updating courses.

*Average hours of training per employee = total number of hours of training provided to employees/total number of employees
**Average hours of employee training by gender = Total number of hours of training provided to employees by gender/total number of employees by gender
***Average hours of training per employee by category = Total number of hours of training provided to each category of employees/total number of employees in the category

Since 2017, PSC has equipped itself with a computer system that, in addition to the ordinary administration of personnel, allows to manage human resources according to a very precise flow of activities. This begins with the identification of the skills required for the role, continues with a gap analysis to assess the deviation from the expected, and ends with the definition of a specific training plan.

In 2020, two procedures of the Group were implemented: Key Figures and Talent Management.

The key figures are those resources that are considered indispensable and difficult to replace for the Group (they may not even be department managers), whereas the Talents are those resources, with length of service relatively low, who have growth potential.

The implementing process of procedures, which started in 2020, suffered inevitable slowdowns in 2021 due to the pandemic. In PCIT BU, which is the first BU where the process is tested, 46 key figures and 6 talents were located in 2021, which will be assessed in 2022.

In Italy there is a compensation system - English term that indicates a set of elements, including salary, premiums and benefits – of staff providing, in addition to fixed remuneration, for the use of variable collective remuneration instruments (result premium). Although a structured Management By Objectives (MBO) system is not defined, since 2018 a rewarding system has been defined for working groups that propose and implement improvement projects focused on specific issues. A performance assessment for career development is also planned at several foreign plants, involving about 1% of the employees of Polish plants and between 50 and 94% of Brazilian plants.

Group performance monitoring KPIs: training hours

The average number of hours of training provided for each employee increased in 2021 compared to the previous year thanks to the resumption of some courses after the interruption due to Covid-19 emergency.
