EMPLOYMENT
WITH REFERENCE TO EMPLOYMENT, 2018 SAW AN INCREASE IN THE HEADCOUNT OF 12.8% ON THE PREVIOUS YEAR, OF WHICH 49.1% ON PERMANENT CONTRACTS AND THE REMAINING 50.9% ON FIXED-TERM CONTRACTS - DUE TO THE PECULIARITY OF THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS WHICH FEATURES LARGE PROJECTS WITH VARIABLE DURATION.
Focus on the permanent contract workforce indicates a significant increase in the total number of permanent new hires over the previous year (+103.7%), particularly in the “Russia & Caspian Region” (+37%), in line with the major development which the Group business has undertaken in this Region, confirming the close interdependence between the workforce sizing and the demands of the various operating phases of projects. The Group has confirmed its interest in hiring young people and new graduates, using the apprenticeship contractual form – less precarious and more lasting than stage and internship -, which combines the actual work activity with the training approach and the development of skills, proving the Group’s attitudine on focusing on the growth of its People. Nevertheless, the collaboration with Universities, Schools and Research Institutes has made it possible to activate 24 internships, of which 18 at the various Italian Group companies and 6 at the Dutch Sister Company Stamicarbon. Furthermore, 4 students took part in the Development Program in Azerbaijan, launched in collaboration with the Baku Higher Oil School.
