| prysmian group | 2012 Sustainability Report
The personnel development programme established by the
Prysmian Group during 2012 involves four main initiatives:
Graduate Program, Prysmian Group Academy, Talent and
Succession Management and Performance Management.
Graduate Program
, launched in 2012, is an international
programme for the recruitment and induction of
new graduates. The objective is to contribute to the
development of future managers and professionals via
the placement of young graduates, with high-potential
profiles, in various functions and geographical areas.
Following initial induction and training at the Group's
headquarters, the programme envisages job rotation over
a period of 12 months in the individual's home country,
followed by a further 24 months at a foreign location. After
this three-year period, the graduate may be assigned to a
junior management role in Italy or abroad, having regard
for business requirements at the time and the individual's
performance, personal characteristics and results achieved.
A key role within this programme is played by the mentor
assigned to each graduate. This senior manager provides a
point of reference and follows the individual throughout the
entire training process.
Prysmian Group Academy
, also launched in 2012, is
an initiative designed to create within the Group an
international school for managers and professionals,
comprising two principal areas of action: a
School of
INVESTING IN PEOPLE
Management
intended to strengthen leadership and
managerial skills, established in partnership with SDA
Bocconi, and a
Professional School
intended to develop and
consolidated technical skills and know-how, guaranteeing
the transfer of knowledge from senior experts to more
junior colleagues. Prysmian Group Academy trained around
200 employees in 2012 and this number is expected
to rise to about 500 in 2013 (approximately 10% of all
management and clerical staff).
The
School of Management
offers various management
training programmes, developed together with SDA
Bocconi, that can count towards earning an MBA. These
programmes address different types of recipient:
•
Post Graduate Program
: a specific programme for new
graduates that have just joined the Prysmian Group,
introducing them to the fundamentals of business,
products, processes and customers, and associating
this investment with a period abroad lasting at least 2
years;
•
International Leadership Program
: a complete and
intensive programme for talents with 5-7 years of
experience, preparing them to take leadership positions
within the Prysmian Group at an international level.
•
Advanced Leadership Program
: an ad-hoc programme
for middle and senior managers intended to assess and
develop their managerial skills and ability, in preparation
for rapid career advancement within the Group.
