COMMITMENTS FOR THE FUTURE

Strategic Recruitment

“Build the Future, the Graduate Program” and “Make-it, Manufacturing career at Prysmian Group”: 80 new

staff are ready to join the Group in 2016, which confirms the great success of the two strategic recruitment

programmes aimed at building the future of our business.

Training and development

For 2016, Prysmian Group Academy plans to run about 50 Technical/Managerial courses with the aim of

diffusing technical and specialist knowledge and of strengthening the managers' ability to guide the business

and manage their staff along with the many change processes currently underway on the industrial,

strategic, organisational and commercial front. Investment in the regional academies is also continuing, with

Prysmian being committed to offering bespoke training for managers and professionals in the various

countries with the aim of integrating the experience and excellence built up by the Group over the years with

local requirements, thus creating an effective network which is necessary for knowledge sharing within

Prysmian, both internally and externally to the region. Decentralising while preserving the Academy's

approach by adopting best practices is now a must for Prysmian, in order to meet local requirements and

gain a better understanding of each country.

These programmes were launched in Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) and South America in 2016.

Performance and Career

In line with the strategic development of the business and the opinions of staff gathered in the P3 pulse

survey, several major development and improvement actions will be rolled out during the year:

alignment between the performance process and career programmes;

links to rewarding practices;

staff involvement in proposing targets, after agreeing them with their superiors;

elaboration of an action plan intended to improve performance
