People

In Finmeccanica the existence of a distinctive and multicultural identity, which is able to respect the territorial affiliations and specificity of its people but also to create a network that increases the asset of the Group, passes through the channels of Listening, Innovation and Integration.

Listening

Since the first condition for growth is to know each other better, Finmeccanica periodically conducts an evaluation analysis to listen and understand the perception that people have working  in diverse realities and culture diversity at an international level. 

Does the group meet the expectations of its employees?  Do they feel part of the organization? Are the objectives clear and well communicated? What are the main values?  

Everyone is invited to express their views, and to become the protagonist of the important process of change and improvement that follows the research stage. The results allow us to identify areas of intervention to act upon at both corporate and individual company level, to carry out initiatives for improvement that intend to respond to people’s expectations and objectives of business. 

By adopting a structured analysis model, action and involvement, Finmeccanica is then realizing its strategy together with its people, which is the best guarantee for its success.

Innovation 

To continue its vocation towards excellency and technological innovation, Finmeccanica has devoted  resources and important investments for many years, also  by internally rewarding the contributions of those who know how to propose solutions and ideas that promote the improvement of the Group's performance.
