CHAPTER 2 | Uniqueness and talent, ingredients for success
2.4. The welfare of our employees
Ratti Group Welfare
Along with safeguarding the health and safety of personnel, Ratti pays particular attention to its employees’ welfare.
Welfare, in the company’s eyes, therefore becomes a precious tool for improving the atmosphere within the company, ensuring the loyalty of the most talented staff, as well as the achievement of high quality standards in production. The issue of balancing working and private time thus becomes a priority in terms of guaranteeing personal satisfaction.
Ratti offers its employees a range of services and deals from medical to recreational, as well as those services and opportunities that may be defined as “time saving”.
and 08.30/09.00 – 17.30/18.00. In the case of departments where work is organised on the basis of shifts, any requests to work different hours will be considered for periods which are short or, in any case, compatible with production needs.
In Romania and Tunisia employees work almost exclusively on a shift basis.
In 2018 a corporate climate survey was carried out for employees of Ratti SpA, with 71% of the sample replying.
The poll was an occasion to evaluate employees’ welfare and attachment to the company, and to harvest some practical suggestions with regard to welfare, for the development of future projects. Welfare activities was the area which received the highest scores

Bringing hidden talent into the light
The culture of beauty is an intrinsic part of Ratti’s DNA. For this reason were are constantly committed to enhancing the talent of individuals, who are the strength of our Group. In 2018 the exhibition “Artisti Ratti in mostra” (Ratti artists on display) was organised. The first exhibition was in the rooms of the Guanzate plant: 100 metres to put oneself on display, 100 meters to open a dialogue between ideas and art. The artistic value of the exhibition was to display the “hidden” talent in Ratti.
It was the perfect embodiment of the spirit of the initiative: a tribute to freedom of expression and a representation of beauty.
