With 78,313 employees worldwide, 47.7% of which non-Italian, Enel is constantly committed to the development, enhancement and involvement of its workers.
In order to combine Enel “citizens”’ perspectives and aspirations with the Company’s development, in a framework of global sustainability, it is necessary to align the values and culture of Enel’s employees. This will ensure the achievement of the business targets and a common pattern for relations with the internal and external community.
The decrease of 2,895 employees with respect to 2009 was due to the balance of hires and terminations (- 2,560) during the year and changes in the composition of the Group (-335). Terminations were mainly incentivized consensual ones.
The most significant changes in the composition of the Group in this period were the reorganization of its renewableenergy operations (with the transfer of such operations in Spain and Portugal from the Iberia and Latin America Division to the Renewable Energy Division and the consequent incorporation of EGP España), the sale of Endesa Hellas and Endesa Gas, and the finalization of the agreement regarding Enel Green Power’s participation in the 3Sun joint venture.
The Personnel and Organization Department, together with the Industrial Relations and Safety units of all the Group’s companies, regularly attends to the requests of employees by specific meetings and climate surveys. Furthermore, trade union representatives have constant relations with the Industrial Relations Unit.
In this situation, the Department plays a crucial role in aligning the values and culture of Enel’s people with a single Group identity, while respecting the ambitions and commitments established by the Company in the field of sustainability.
This ambitious Group-level undertaking is translated into concrete initiatives. First of all there is the new management model, which defines the single profile expected for management and clarifies how a career is developed in the Group. Transparency, objectivity, meritocracy, knowledge sharing, the development of global capabilities, and multiculturalism are the features that characterize the model.
The participation and engagement of the Enel “citizen” are also promoted through the activity of the Internal Communication Unit, within the External Relations Department, aimed at promoting integration by means of innovative methods and instruments.
