FiberCop launches its New Equal Opportunities Policy

FiberCop, leader in the development of telecommunications infrastructure in Italy, has drawn up and approved a new Human Resources and Equal Opportunities Policy. The goal is to give greater value to human capital as a strategic and crucial resource to address the challenges of the digital and ecological transition. This policy focuses on creating conditions that foster a work environment that promotes social inclusion, considered a key element for the company's long-term success, in line with European principles of Gender Equality.

A concrete commitment to social inclusion and diversity

Gender Equality lies at the heart of this new policy, with specific activities aimed at ensuring and safeguarding equal opportunities at all levels of the organization. FiberCop is committed to promoting female empowerment through targeted hiring policies, dedicated development programs, and increasing female representation in decision-making roles.

A fundamental aspect of FiberCop's Human Resources and Equal Opportunities Policy is the adoption of a non-discrimination policy, ensuring equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. Every individual in FiberCop is valued for their skills and contribution within the organization

Equal opportunities are not limited to the hiring process; they are the mainstay of both training and career development. FiberCop actively promotes a meritocratic work environment, where professional growth is based on results and skills. The company is also committed to ensuring safe and dignified working conditions, in compliance with the highest international standards on human rights.

The importance of corporate welfare and work-life balance

A healthy balance between personal and professional life has become a cornerstone of corporate welfare. To this end, FiberCop promotes concrete measures to enhance employee well-being, such as support programs to manage daily commitments, agile working and flexible hours, which promote a better work-life balance.

The adoption of flexible working models allows employees to manage their time better, reducing stress and improving their quality of life. Also, with the introduction of the right to disconnect, FiberCop ensures that its employees can clearly separate their working hours from personal time.

Gender Equality and female leadership at FiberCop

Another key element of the new Human Resources Policy is the promotion of female leadership. FiberCop is investing in mentorship programs and continuous training for women, aimed at increasing their representation in managerial roles. This commitment aligns with European directives on Gender Equality, which aim to increase the presence of women in leadership positions in companies. The company firmly believes that gender diversity, combined with an inclusive work environment, can lead to greater innovation and improved business performance. Studies confirm that companies with a higher presence of women in leadership roles tend to be more innovative and competitive.

The role of the Gender Equality Steering Committee

The new Human Resources and Equal Opportunities Policy has been developed with the contribution of the Gender Equality Steering Committee, set up to define and update the guidelines and ensure they meet the organization's inclusion and equal opportunity needs. The Steering Committee includes the CEO, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Human Resources Officer.
