In Italy, the North region stands out for its quality of work and corporate well-being. Following closely are the Autonomous Province of Bolzano and Veneto, with the Autonomous Province of Trento, Piedmont, and Valle d’Aosta just off the podium. However, Southern Italy has performed poorly in this area.
The job market has experienced significant changes since the pandemic hit. Companies across the country are struggling to find employees with adequate skills and are making efforts to retain their staff. These efforts include offering higher salaries, converting fixed-term contracts into permanent ones, providing flexible work hours, using innovative tools, promoting career advancement, and implementing benefits and corporate welfare programs.
In recent years, there has been a continuous improvement in corporate well-being in SMEs across the North region. Despite this progress, there is still a trend of employees leaving permanent jobs. According to INPS data, voluntary resignations of private permanent employees under 60 years of age have increased. Many employees are leaving their current jobs for better opportunities with higher salaries and less stressful working environments.
Overall, enhancing corporate well-being in Italy is an ongoing process that requires continuous effort from companies across all regions. The analysis conducted by CGIA Research Office highlights the importance of addressing employee needs and creating a supportive workplace environment that attracts and retains talent to remain competitive in today’s job market conditions.
The BES (Sustainable Fair Wellbeing) report presented by Istat was used as a basis for this analysis. The report provides insights into how companies can enhance employee satisfaction and improve their overall well-being through various practices such as offering flexible work arrangements, providing support for mental health issues such as stress management programs or counseling services, promoting healthy lifestyles through incentives or onsite facilities such as gyms or cafeterias.
In conclusion, while progress has been made in enhancing corporate well-being in Italy over recent years, there is still much work to be done to ensure that all regions can benefit from these initiatives. Companies must continue to prioritize employee needs while also recognizing the importance of retaining top talent in today’s highly competitive job market conditions.
