Inclusion: Intesa Sanpaolo gets more Disability Managers
At Intesa Sanpaolo there are about 80 Disability Managers, who play a central role in issues related to the management of disabilities and chronic diseases at the company.
The working group is coordinated by the Welfare function, which acts in synergy with Diversity & Inclusion, and it meets regularly with the trade unions within the framework of the Welfare, Security and Sustainable Development Committee.
The Disability Managers Working Group is made up of personnel from various company structures who pool their professional skills in pursuit of teamwork to support and enhance the contribution of all company people.
To train Disability Managers and create common language as a working tool, Intesa Sanpaolo has also set up advanced training courses in cooperation with Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan.
The results include guidelines for allowing service dogs in the Bank's workplaces – there is no organic legislation in Italy or most European countries – and the launch of the Solidarity Clouds project, which involves various company structures in removing architectural, bureaucratic or legal barriers, as well as personnel in creating crucial solidarity chains.
The culture of inclusion: a widespread value in Intesa Sanpaolo
The culture of inclusion is a widespread value in Intesa Sanpaolo and is expressed through concrete actions.
- "Abilitiamo la Disabilità" (Enabling Disability): a working table in which Intesa Sanpaolo and other companies, institutions, associations and non-profit organisations compare experiences to deepen, consolidate and spread a culture of disability management issues.
- #RealizzAbile: an open competition on the company intranet in which staff propose projects, ideas and suggestions to improve the working environment by putting people at the centre to create widespread well-being.
More generally, the Intesa Sanpaolo Group is ranked in many international indices among the most inclusive companies, attentive to diversity in the workplace and offering a greater contribution to the conditions for the broad spread of a culture of inclusion in the context in which it operates.
