The employee category-gender chart shows a clear predominance, in absolute numbers, of men in the blue-collar worker category. This is easily accounted for by the fact that practically all RadiciGroup companies belong to the manufacturing sector. Comparing the percentages of men and women in the same category, we note that there is a limited number of women in top management, a comparable number of men and women in middle management and a predominance of women in the white-collar worker category. 2012

The percentages are calculated for each gender group separately.
Men and women employees receive equal remuneration for the same job duties and work schedule. The Group Human Resources function may adopt an incentive system aimed at motivating employees to develop their professional skills and rewarding the results achieved. These recognition awards are presented annually to both permanent and temporary employees on the basis of their individual performance and professional conduct. Also given are bonuses related to participation in company profits, which are collective in nature. The incentive schemes for management are based on the objectives set (Management by Objectives). The achievement of individual and corporate performance objectives is recognized through bonuses that vary from 8% to 20% of gross compensation depending on the position held in the organization. Other benefits for all employees include canteen service at discounted prices, available at many RadiciGroup production sites, and restaurant tickets where canteen service is not provided. Lastly, every year RadiciGroup awards scholarships to employees and their children. Scholarships are granted to university students, with a preference for students specializing in technical and scientific fields, as a reward for outstanding academic achievement. In 2012, scholarships were awarded to 9 Italian and foreign students.
