Strengthening the presence of women in managerial succession plans, aimed at increasing the presence of women in positions with greater responsibility in the Group

The Leadership Assessment programme is aimed at senior managers, with a view to supporting executive development policies, contributing to the design of career paths and succession plans. 

In line with the Diversity & Inclusion objectives defined by Poste Italiane to support the 24SI strategy, the 2023 programme has given priority to the involvement of women managers, identified in periodic Review meetings as potential “successors” for more complex positions. With this initiative, Poste Italiane strengthens its commitment to supporting the growth of the skills necessary for leadership development.

The Succession Coverage Index, which measures the “completeness” of succession plans, showed very positive results. Particular attention was paid to the presence of women in management succession plans, with the aim of increasing the representation of women in top positions within the Group. Specifically, there is an upward trend on the Gender Index for all mapped positions, indicating a progressive increase in the presence of women in the Group’s future leaders.
