Training and development

The main processes supporting the management and development of people are evolving according to the Company’s values and Leadership Model.

These include the performance appraisal process, which strengthens the dialogue and relations between people and their Line Managers and allows thorough assessment of the employee’s competencies in order to identify the most suitable career path for every individual.

Ariston Thermo has introduced a structured process to identify the most talented employees and to “fast track” their development.

The appraisal system integrated with the evaluation of the employee’s potential, allows us to appoint the best people to key roles within the organisation.

In our Development Committees Top Management shares and makes decision on Talent Management, incorporating:

Identifying individuals with strong potential and promoting their growth via organizational opportunities
Planning appropriate development actions
Building effective succession plans
Defining where external hiring of talent will support the existing talent within the Group

Training programs, individual coaching, mentoring, inter-functional projects and international assignment are some of the key ways we manage and grow talent.

International careers

The Group continues to invest in its International Career Programme which provides the most talented employees the opportunity to live and work in the various different countries in which it operates, thus acquiring cross-functional skills essential for their professional development.

Cultural diversity and intercultural management are essential in order to embrace the differences that are posed from working in various markets.

The Ariston Thermo global mobility experience is supported by a structured policy and the expertise of external consultancy to manage the complex tax, planning and administrative aspects of deploying an international workforce.

Training programs

Training is one of our key attributes in people management and development: we offer institutional training programmes according to different professional profiles and different steps of career development.
