CAPITOLO 2 | Unicità e talento, gli ingredienti del successo
scenario able to interpret changes and individuate topics and discourses relating to health, producing constant incentives and promoting, in this way, a pathway that fully benefits the wellbeing of its staff.
As a part of this project and from the perspective of Corporate Social Accountability, Ratti SpA, in partnership with Unindustria Como and in conjunction with IRaise
e Dialogica Impresa Sociale, launched the initiative “teamwork: a strategy against gambling disorders”.
This is a programme offered to workers which explains the implications of gambling and outlines, through discussion workshops and team building with the same workers, strategies for managing problem situations.
According to data from the Agency for state property and monopolies, the impact of gambling is so great that it puts Italy among the main countries in the world in terms of frequency of the phenomenon and, in particular, the province of Como is high up the ranking in Lombardy in terms of spending on gambling per capitao1.
Another important initiative that Ratti SpA has chosen to introduce is a total smoking ban inside the perimeter of the Guanzate plant.
The main objective of contributing to a reduction in
the number of smokers among its own employees, supporting those seeking to give up smoking, and offering them information on diagnostic/therapeutic dissuasion programmes, is to provide a reference model for a healthy lifestyle. 90 employees (out of a total of 130 smokers in the company) attended a cycle of training meetings organised by LILT (Lega Italiana Lotta contro
i Tumori; the Italian League against Cancer) in which
a doctor and a psychologist explained the damaged caused by smoking, providing, at the same time, advice on how to deal with nicotine dependency.
This initiative bears testimony to how it is Ratti’s policy not just to limit itself to product research and innovation, but also to profoundly enhance human relations within the Group.
2.6 Communicating is the key to sharing
Internal communication
Internal communication is an instrument that is key
to ensuring that all employees are aligned with the company’s principles, values and business objectives. If it’s true that communication is not what we say, but rather that which arrives from others, this discipline becomes a key tool in ensuring that all employees are aligned with principles, values and objectives.
Against this backdrop, a key role is played by the company’s intranet. This is the Group’s actual portal that manages the news, publishes shared documents and, last but not least, manages a number of internal processes.
The intranet area of Ratti SpA has a number of sections with a full range of informational and institutional content, as well as a news area with the latest news. Within this information it is possible to find new opportunities, sustainable projects, safety procedures for employees, the results of corporate climate surveys as well as deals that are currently active.
In addition, another tool for sharing the news is the monitors located in the coffee areas of all departments.

All aboard for sustainability
In May the second Group Sustainability Report was delivered and presented
to all employees at the Guanzate site, during a meeting held by CEO Sergio Tamborini. This provided concrete evidence that
the creation of sustainable value for persons and the environment represents a key element of the company’s strategy.
The results and initiatives are born out of teamwork in which every idea, print or project has not just given life to an excellent product that is an expression of Made in Italy, but is the result of all those values in which the company still believes after more than 70 years in business.
As far as employees of the subsidiaries are concerned, internal monitors were installed. These are connected with the Guanzate premises in order to share the Group’s main news. In 2019 the Sustainability Report was also transmitted through information sent to the monitors.
