Welfare in the Ratti Group
Work-life balance, as the example of our founder Antonio Ratti shows us, is as much a key factor in personal growth as it is for the success of the company overall.
From this point of view, the Ratti Group makes a huge e ort to facilitate work-life bal- ance. The Ratti Group’s main initiatives include a shuttle bus service to bring Creomoda S.a.r.l. and Textrom S.r.l. employees to and from work, as well as economic incentives provided to Creomoda employees, such as support for their children’s education.
The welfare initiatives undertaken by Ratti S.p.A. are highlighted alongside.
In the Ratti Group temporary or part-time employees are treated identically to permanent or full-time employees.
Special agreements and services o ered to Ratti S.p.A. employees
Within the company, as part of its broad corporate welfare project, the Ratti Group has initiated a training pathway that o ers all employees the chance to broaden their knowledge of cultural and artistic matters.
The course that began in April 2017, with four sessions a month, consisted of an in-depth study of the history of art in the 1950s and 1960s, and introduced participants to the main references to these two periods in the history of fabric and fashion, rediscovering the techniques, materials and styles of the era.
Organised in partnership with the Antonio Ratti Foundation, the two sessions on the history of art were run by Elena di Raddo and Francesco Tedeschi, both lecturers on the subject at Università Cattolica in Milan, while the sessions on the history of fabric and fashion were run by Margherita Rosina, a historian of fabric and for ten years the Director of the Antonio Ratti Foundation Museum.
