The global mobility policy and processes were reviewed and became operational on 1 January 2016.
The purpose of this review is to align Prysmian's policy with the most advanced market practices, in
order to facilitate expatriation even outside of the Group's headquarters, align the conditions and
segment the various types of assignment.
At the end of 2015 a new section of the Academy was created, for Manufacturing professionals. This
involved the setting up of a practical training programme at the Mudanya plant in Turkey.
With regard to transparency on pay issues, the Group has implemented a job weighting system, which
is designed to enable a quick analysis of fairness and alignment with market pay practices. It has also
issued guidelines in accordance with local laws, to link pay measures to all levels of the organisation,
while variable pay schemes will be linked to individual performance appraisal.
COMMITMENTS FOR THE FUTURE
In 2016 the Prysmian Group expects to launch a further series of initiatives for its employees and external
stakeholders.
The global recruitment programme “Make it”, which was launched at the end of 2015 and whose aim
is to introduce key figures to the Production, Logistics, Quality and R&D divisions, will bring in 40-50
staff with experience, and will be repeated in the future.
The results of the Group survey will be published and action will be taken to respond to any issues
that arise.
The "Build the future" recruitment programme for new graduates will be held for the fifth time, with the
aim of making recruitment a key element of the Group's workforce and skills planning strategy.
The P3 performance management process will be further improved, by giving staff the opportunity to
state their objectives to their superiors in order to boost engagement and participation. In the near
future, this system will also allow the exchange of peer-to-peer feedback.
The Senior Leadership Program, which is addressed to senior managers with the aim of creating a
common corporate language to deal with managerial challenges, will be completed within the
Leadership Academy.
