Sanmarco Informatica, Inc.<\/p>\n
\u201cTurning the personal ideas and projects of employees and contractors into reality, supporting them as they pursue their passions.\u201d This is how #smilikeyou was born\u2014a new initiative by Sanmarco Informatica dedicated to the well-being and social engagement of employees and collaborators through the promotion of after-work activities. This #outofthebox project fosters communities where people can share moments of leisure, sports, and culture, thereby improving the quality of work life.
\nA cutting-edge work environment
\n#smilikeyou reflects Sanmarco Informatica\u2019s commitment to being a technology company of excellence\u2014not only in its products and services but also as a positive and stimulating workplace where people\u2019s well-being, creativity, and innovation are always at the center.
\nClubs for Every Passion
\nThrough themed clubs led by in-house coordinators, employees and contractors can participate in a variety of after-work activities, including role-playing games, outdoor movies, padel, yoga, dancing, beach volleyball, indoor soccer\u2026 and much more.
\nA new way to work and have fun
\n#smilikeyou isn\u2019t just about having fun\u2014it\u2019s also an opportunity to make new friends and strengthen professional bonds. Sanmarco Informatica offers its employees an environment where they can grow both professionally and personally, making the work experience rewarding and fulfilling. <\/p>\n
Zanardi Fonderie S.p.A.<\/p>\n
Combining continuous improvement, corporate social responsibility, and work-life balance.
\nWith this noble goal in mind, Zanardi Fonderie has designed and offered its employees an ambitious, itinerant training program to transform the mandatory training hours required by their employment contracts into an opportunity for personal and cultural enrichment.<\/p>\n
To generate an even more positive social impact, the company has drawn on its strong ties to the local community where it has operated since 1931: Palaminerbe, managed by the local Pro Loco; Tenuta San Martino, a prominent restaurant in Legnago; the Parrocchiale Theater in Minerbe, in collaboration with the Circolo Noi; and CUOA, the region\u2019s leading business school, served as the venues for the marathon\u2019s four stages.<\/p>\n
\u201cAthletes at Work\u201d is the title of the first session, which encapsulates a twofold metaphor: the balanced management of work and sports, and the athlete\u2019s mindset applied to the workplace. The event at the Palaminebre provided an opportunity to discuss with athletes from Minerva how sports culture extends far beyond the playing field, offering many qualities and skills that are useful in both personal and professional life. The posture tips suggested by a physical therapist left no room for doubt: being an athlete\u2014even at work\u2014is good for your health! <\/p>\n
The second stop was at Tenuta San Martino, where the topic was food, under the telling title \u201cEating Healthy Without Sacrificing Flavor and Tradition.\u201d A nutritionist and the estate\u2019s chef took attendees on an imaginary journey to learn how to best recalibrate (without making sacrifices) their culinary experience. <\/p>\n
\u201cSafety on Stage,\u201d the third event, used theatrical improvisation as a tool to promote a culture of workplace safety. At the Parrocchiale Theater, the show presented six different skits tailored to the foundry, which summarized employees\u2019 experiences with specific accident scenarios to raise awareness about the use of PPE (personal protective equipment) and compliance with safety procedures. In the afternoon, following an engaging social lunch, the event \u201cSicuri di essere sicuri\u201d revisited the topic with an expert in the field, once again making use of the Palaminerbe venue. <\/p>\n
Finally, the CUOA auditorium hosted the final stop of the marathon, where participants spent the entire day exploring the characteristics and benefits of lean management through testimonials and group workshops. The theme of the day? \u201cThe Factory at School,\u201d which succinctly captures the value and commitment behind the entire project. <\/p>\n
AXERA S.p.A.<\/p>\n
AXERA was founded in 2021 through the merger of four local companies in the telecommunications and ICT sector. Today, it connects people, businesses, and infrastructure, contributing to technological innovation in the Triveneto region. With a team of over 200 people, it offers integrated solutions to meet the connectivity, collaboration, and communication needs of local businesses, transforming challenges into opportunities that deliver lasting value. The company is committed to renewing not only the technological paradigm but also mindsets, recognizing that a commitment to change opens the door to the future. <\/p>\n
AXERA People Care: Putting People First
\nSuccess is not measured solely by economic growth, but above all by the well-being of its employees. AXERA People Care is a corporate wellness program designed to provide comprehensive care for employees: it includes a health services package with high coverage limits, including coverage for dental care\u2014even at non-network providers\u2014and contributions toward the purchase of eyeglass lenses. <\/p>\n
AXERA Academy: Training the Next Generation
\nAXERA\u2019s innovation aims to go beyond corporate boundaries to reach the next generation through the AXERA Academy. Our digital training hub not only offers technology courses for children and teens ages 7 and up, but through the ICT NextGen project, it also supports high school seniors in computer science programs, helping to introduce young people to the real world of work. <\/p>\n
Work and Family: A Winning Combination
\nAXERA firmly believes in the value of community. Every year, we organize two events that have now become much-anticipated traditions: a winter dinner and a summer dinner\u2014opportunities to come together in a friendly atmosphere outside the workplace. Starting in 2024, we took it a step further with the 1st AXERA Family Day, a day-long event that also included our employees\u2019 families\u2014and was capped off by the 1st AXERA beach volleyball tournament! <\/p>\n
Continuing Education: Fostering Growth
\nAXERA\u2019s growth is also supported by a constant commitment to training: through technical programs designed to keep our teams professionally up to date, while not neglecting the importance of soft skills, such as communication and managing interpersonal relationships at various levels. This mix of skills helps build a dynamic environment capable of adapting quickly to market changes. <\/p>\n
Our motto? It\u2019s always been the same\u2026 Together, We Innovate! <\/p>\n
Feltre<\/p>\n
Where corporate excellence and employee well-being go hand in hand
\nIn an ever-changing world, Feltre stands out as a pillar of the leather automation industry. Founded in 1973 by Vittorio Feltre, the company has achieved extraordinary milestones under the leadership of Agnese, Graziano, and Domenico Feltre. Led by General Manager Gaetano Bisognin, CFO & HR Manager Alex Luison, and Operations Manager Vittorio Feltre, our team continues to write its success story. <\/p>\n
Feltre: Looking to the Future Feltre looks to the future with ambition and innovation. The acquisition of the Emmezeta and Tanmac brands has solidified our position as a global leader in tanning automation. Our capacity for innovation, combined with our strong roots, allows us to anticipate the challenges of tomorrow. We are committed not only to offering cutting-edge products and services, but also to creating a work environment where our employees thrive. <\/p>\n
Employee Well-being
\nIn Feltre, the well-being of our employees is at the heart of our philosophy. In 2023, we launched initiatives that were \u2026 #outofthebox to promote a positive work environment: <\/p>\n
A day of skiing in Obereggen, fully funded by the company, to build team spirit.
\nA monthly happy hour every Friday after work\u2014a chance to get together at the office and enjoy some relaxation and socializing.
\nInvestments in continuing education, including courses in English, Excel, Logistics, and Transportation to enhance our employees\u2019 skills.
\nTraining sessions that take us out of our comfort zone, such as the Team Cooking event organized at the University of Taste\u2014an opportunity to explore culinary creativity together.
\nOngoing professional development through courses offered by CUOA, our go-to partner for training, to support the continuous growth of our employees.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t limit ourselves to conventional approaches; instead, we embrace \u201cout-of-the-box\u201d solutions to ensure a stimulating and fulfilling work environment. Our commitment to innovation is reflected not only in the products we offer, but also in the way we take care of our team. <\/p>\n
Bedeschi, Inc.<\/p>\n
People are our greatest asset.
\nBedeschi is, above all, the people who make up the company: without the expertise, enthusiasm, and dedication of the team, achieving the company\u2019s goals would not be possible. Bedeschi is therefore committed to valuing its people through fair, inclusive, and stimulating treatment aimed at the personal and professional growth of each individual. It is from this shared vision that the beB (be Bedeschi) project was born, which encompasses activities and courses designed for employees.
\nIn 2021, as part of the beB project, the Corporate Academy took shape. Thanks to the internal assessment system conducted at the end of each year\u2014which provides a general overview of all employees\u2019 skills and competencies\u2014tailored virtual and in-person training courses were developed to support and assist each employee in their professional growth. Specifically, the training follows two main tracks: technical training and managerial training. In 2022, the company provided more than 2,250 hours of training.
\nAs part of the beB Academy, by the end of 2022, the company began exploring the possibility of organizing additional activities aimed at fostering integration among employees from different offices and departments to create synergy outside the corporate context. The purpose of these activities is to create opportunities for colleagues to share experiences and connect, which can lead to chances to get to know one another and cooperate more effectively both inside and outside the workplace.
\nThe company has organized a series of activities that will expand in 2024; the first ones are: <\/p>\n
nutrition education sessions,
\nrunning and walking groups,
\ncultural events with authors,
\nvolunteer initiatives,
\nmeditation classes,
\npadel tournaments,
\nin-house courses taught by employees themselves to showcase the company\u2019s projects,
\nlanguage practice sessions with foreign colleagues to practice English<\/p>\n
We wanted to think #OutOfTheBox because we\u2019re convinced that investing in people\u2019s training and well-being will make us more collaborative, motivated, and ready to overcome the company\u2019s upcoming challenges together.<\/p>\n
Omega Group<\/p>\n
Since 1998, we have been partnering with companies to drive digital innovation in their processes and help them achieve their business goals. Over the course of this 25-year journey, we have been committed to translating our clients\u2019 needs into digital transformation projects that are both solid and visionary, concrete and
\ninnovative, collaborative, and one-of-a-kind. <\/p>\n
It is precisely this constant pursuit of innovation\u2014the desire to continually push beyond its boundaries\u2014that in 2017 made us ambassadors\u2014the first in Italy\u2014of a new vision for supply chain processes, thanks to Agilis\u2019s attainment of Demand Driven certification, our ERP-class software.
\nThe principles built into the software enable us to manage market fluctuations through a procurement strategy that is no longer based on forecasting but is instead demand-driven. The result is a more fluid and manageable supply chain where raw materials are purchased when needed and in the quantities necessary to meet market demand, tying up only the necessary capital. <\/p>\n
The benefits were evident from the very first implementations: customer service levels rose to 99.5%, average lead times were nearly halved, inventory levels decreased by up to 60%, and businesses enjoyed greater stability, thanks to financial cycles reduced by an average of 65%. Since then, we haven\u2019t looked back: supporting the competitiveness of our businesses in the international market meant not only providing them with the best digital tools but also the best expertise and the best professionals. <\/p>\n
In 2020, we therefore formed a task force of experts dedicated to promoting the \u201cthoughtware before software\u201d principle, launching the Renovo business unit, convinced that the implementation of Agilis Demand Driven had to begin with training people and adopting a new approach to production planning. Once again, we were the first in Italy to organize Italian-language courses leading to the \u201cDemand Driven Planner Professional\u201d certification, which every year\u2014under the guidance of certified Demand Driven Instructors who are part of our team\u2014helps managers
\ns, and professionals acquire top-tier expertise in the Demand Driven methodology. <\/p>\n
The numerous successful projects launched in recent years have confirmed the effectiveness of our approach and the wisdom of investing in this methodology. Uncertain and ever-changing market conditions have put traditional planning methods to the test, favoring more flexible approaches, such as the Demand-Driven approach. <\/p>\n
Our next goal? To continue working in the same spirit as we have for the past twenty-five years, investing in technological research, fostering a culture of innovation, and acquiring new skills\u2014always with our eyes on the future. <\/p>\n
ASAlaser<\/p>\n
People as a company\u2019s most valuable asset. Based on this premise, ASA\u2014which has been active since 1983 in the production and distribution of lasers for human and veterinary rehabilitation\u2014has structured its development strategy, recognizing the central role that people play in driving effective growth. <\/p>\n
For the company\u2014whose devices are available in more than 90 countries around the world\u2014#OutOfTheBox thus becomes #InsideTheBox: investing in employees to help them discover their aptitudes and interests, and to foster their loyalty and sense of belonging. In the spirit of social sustainability, various high-value-added initiatives have taken shape over the years, contributing to the creation of a virtuous cycle with positive effects on both production and the corporate culture. <\/p>\n
Concrete examples include flexible work schedules to help balance personal and professional life, as well as career development paths\u2014both vertical and horizontal\u2014supported by specific training programs such as the Master\u2019s in Product Management, Cybersecurity for Medical Devices, the Master\u2019s in Injury Treatment and Sports Rehabilitation, the Executive Master\u2019s in Cybersecurity, and various team-building activities aimed at strengthening bonds among work groups. These initiatives, in the first half of 2023 alone, totaled 850 hours dedicated to driving significant processes of change and improvement. <\/p>\n
In keeping with this approach, in 2023, ASA decided to celebrate its first 40 years in business by putting its employees at the center of the celebration, making them the stars of a series of educational, cultural, culinary, and sporting events centered on sharing. To celebrate this important milestone, a rich calendar of initiatives was organized, consistent with the company\u2019s philosophy, which draws its inspiration from employee well-being. So, the spotlight is on the \u201cBeach Volleyball Tournament\u201d and the \u201cTable Soccer Tournament,\u201d \u201cASAbreakfast\u201d\u2014a shared breakfast held on the first Monday of every month\u2014the \u201c#ASA40\u201d on Spotify (a playlist curated with the collaboration of all employees), day trips, and the #ASApeople column, which spotlights employees and highlights their passions outside of work. <\/p>\n
Goal: to foster understanding from a perspective other than the strictly professional one, helping to bridge gaps and discover unexpected facets of the colleague sitting next to you. In this way, each individual\u2019s talent becomes a shared asset, and projects\u2014despite their complexity\u2014become more agile. This employee-centered approach will continue to shape the coming years: in fact, a series of projects focused on personal health and family support are already in the works. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
