Programs to increase the participation of women in coaching and mentoring paths and leadership development programs
In 2023, coaching activities were strengthened, carried out by both internal and external coaches, which involved managers and young talents in paths to strengthen transversal skills useful for improving performance. The number of coachees increased by 50% compared to 2022, with significant female participation. In addition, the Mums at Work programme continued, aimed at employees returning from maternity leave, accompanying them in the process of reintegration into the Company through dedicated coaching courses. The initiative is in line with the Support for Active Parenting Policy, launched in 2022, which defines the company’s framework to support both women before and after motherhood and the evolution of the concept of shared parenting.
In a context characterised by a constant drive for change, people are called upon to express greater responsibility, autonomy and flexibility. In response to this need, the Poste Italiane mentoring programme has evolved, establishing itself as a stable and widespread process throughout the company as a space for discussion with recognised managerial best practices and role models. In 2023, more than 457 mentors and mentees actively participated in the Company, with a significant female presence (+22% female mentors compared to 2022). Mentoring ensures the expansion of a global vision as it allows a comparison between diversity of gender, age and experience.
