2017 Yearly Overview | Prysmian Group

A GLOBAL EMPLOYER OF CHOICE PRYSMIAN GROUP 2017 YEARLY OVERVIEW The Group Academy is organised into three distinct but synergistic schools: The School of Management, the Professional School, and the Digital School. The strength of an international network The School of Management, established in partnership with SDA Bocconi and a network of 10 major international business schools, has welcomed 710 participants in 5 years and has already issued 439 diplomas, with continuous ambitions for growth in 2018. Designed to attract talented staff, the school uniquely offers a complete portfolio of training programmes that leads to obtaining the internationally- recognised Global Executive MBA (GEMBA), awarded by SDA Bocconi in partnership with an international network of business schools. Additionally, all programme content has been heavily customised to meet the competitive challenges of the industry in which Prysmian operates, particularly thanks to the contribution of SDA Bocconi in preparing ‘Prysmian Global and Regional Case Studies’. THE PLUS-SIDE TO OWNING A CORPORATE UNIVERSITY Developing and sharing key abilities High quality virtual learning The Professional School, directly linked with measurement and development of performance (including the P3 Performance Management Programme), is organised into function academies and centres of expertise. It has trained over 1,500 employees over the past 5 years, involving more than 200 experts, with plans to involve the same number in 2018. It aims to develop and share key technical and professional ability, with support from internal teachers from all over the world. In other words, we want to develop and consolidate know-how and technical skills, ensuring their transmission from more experienced personnel to younger potentials. The Professional School comprises the Manufacturing Academy in Mudanya, Turkey, and the R&D Academy, as well as courses in purchasing, sales and marketing, IT, interfunctional and human resources. The Digital School is one of the main projects of the Group Academy. Always in step with the evolution of business learning, the Group has studied a range of digital training initiatives to create high- quality virtual learning spaces for a wide audience and implemented technological innovations in learning thanks to the JAM platform. Around 600 employees were involved in 2017, with some key outputs such as the first edition of the Compliance Training Programme, aimed primarily at sales managers in order to raise awareness among participants of the importance of adopting managerial practices inspired by ethics and integrity. New Academies Opened In 2017 We inaugurated our Training Centre at the new Milan headquarters, which last year alone hosted more than 1,000 participants for a total of 150 training days. The Milan Academy follows the opening of the Manufacturing Academy, inaugurated in 2016 in the Mudanya plant, Turkey, and the opening of the Academy of Product, Innovation & Technology in Lexington, USA, also in 2017.
