Six companies are the finalists of the Excellence & Innovation HR Award, the award promoted by De Luca & Partners that will be presented during an event scheduled for the evening of 27 November at Palazzo Giureconsulti in Milan. On this occasion, the companies will have the opportunity to present their projects and to discuss the main trends in the field of HR and the world of work. The award, at its first edition, is intended for businesses operating in Italy and is aimed at encouraging reflection on the best practices in the world of work and the management of human resources, showcasing outstanding operations that give real momentum to a company, by promoting competitiveness and productivity, while at the same time fostering social cohesion, conflict resolution and, more generally, the well-being both of people and of the national economy” said Vittorio De Luca, Managing Partner of De Luca & Partners, a law firm active in legal consultancy and assistance in the field of labour law, industrial relations and agency law. “As business consultants, we are often called to resolve company internal disputes, in some cases even extremely difficult. However, there are projects that usually go unnoticed despite the fact that they create great value, allowing dispute prevention and creating cohesion within the organizations.” The Jury, made up of 8 experts in human resources and corporate social responsibility, identified six finalist companies. For the listed companies: American Express, FCA and Rai Way. For the non-listed companies: AFV Acciaierie Beltrame, Bricoman Italia and Farco Group. The scenario resulting from the projects submitted by the candidates confirms the great attention that companies pay to strategic issues for development, such as second-level negotiation, company welfare, training and all initiatives that generally promote the well-being of employees at work. “The real innovation is not only the technological one, but also an organisational one that facilitates change management, by involving employees in a transparent relationship that reconciles development and well-being, based not only on the result but also on the sharing of value (and of sacrifices when it is time to make them) and on trust as the “glue” of all stakeholders. In this sense, the Italian way of doing business has a wealth of tales of excellence and has much to teach abroad.”
