Professional development and Internal Job Market

The Intesa Sanpaolo Group considers the motivation and enhancement of the Bank's people as a priority. For Intesa Sanpaolo, putting the "Person at the Centre" means offering initiatives to develop and strengthen skills, considered essential for the realization of business strategies in terms of generating social, economic and economic value.

Training

Learning Academy

In 2022 the Development Policy and Learning Academy Head Office Department continued to implement innovative training models and methodologies, geared towards all Group’s employees and conducive to promoting a multichannel approach that makes learning as simple and flexible as possible through the use of the different corporate training Platforms/Apps (Apprendo, Myla and Management School). 2022 also marked the launch of the new LEA training platform dedicated to employees belonging to the International Subsidiary Banks coordinated by the International Subsidiary Banks Division, through which the digital training addressed by the Parent Company to the Banks in the scope is currently provided, including mandatory training, and a live training channel is planned to be launched.

To meet the challenge of excellence in a complex context, the training and development action is constantly renewed to support the business results of today and tomorrow with the following objectives:

  • developing distinctive professional and managerial skills at all levels
  • promoting the dissemination of our key values by linking the learning of principles to daily behaviour in order to strengthen corporate identity
  • guiding the Group's growth by supporting innovation, internationality and inclusion
  • supporting Business development and disseminating financial and business culture among customers, while enhancing the Group’s know-how and image.
2022 achieved results

In 2022, the hours of training provided reached a total of approximately 12.6 million, 11.3 million of which in digital mode.

The level of satisfaction among the Group’s people (81% for digital training and 97% for live training) is high, in line with those already achieved in previous years.

The end of 1H22 saw the finalisation of the sale of the Intesa Sanpaolo training business line that led to the establishment of Digit’ED Spa (Intesa Sanpaolo’s exclusive partner in the development of training initiatives), which sets out to be a leading educational player in Italy, leveraging Intesa Sanpaolo’s innovative learning infrastructure and positioning itself as an aggregator of the best Italian companies in the sector. In 2022, new mechanisms concerning non-completion of mandatory training within the required timescales were introduced in the incentive system in order to further strengthen its monitoring.

On a thematic level, the mandatory training provision for Group’s people was extended and updated, based on the guidelines set out in the new Code of Conduct. New digital contents were published on the subject of Legislative Decree 231 and cybersecurity, the latter area considered to be extremely significant, also given the continuation of the health emergency. There was a number of ESG training initiatives aimed at the IMI CIB Division, Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking and the rest of the Group.

On a thematic level, the training provision was expanded and updated with the publication of new digital contents to implement the regulatory updates on the subject of Legislative Decree 231, Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Corruption, Business Continuity and Cybersecurity. The latter areas continue to be considered crucial, both following the Group’s continuous digital development and in consideration of the challenging international political situation. Further digital contents have been developed on the broad theme linked to the NRRP (digital and sustainable mobility, education and research, social inclusion and cohesion, tourism, agribusiness). Furthermore, with regard to Diversity & Inclusion issues, initiatives were provided in continuity with the work carried out in previous years, such as initiatives dedicated to female empowerment, parenting and the dissemination of the ageing culture. On the international front, the training plan on inclusive leadership was launched within the scope of the International Subsidiary Banks Division, which involved the top managers of the first three target banks of the initiative; the IMI CIB Division, on the other hand, promoted initiatives aimed at inter-generational dialogue and enhancement.

In line with the 2022-2025 Business Plan and in order to strengthen culture and skills in the ESG area, various training contents were developed and made available, mainly with reference to participation in the Net Zero initiatives, the UN 2030 Agenda, ESG scoring, with the goal of continuing to enhance the culture and skills of the Group’s people in the sustainability sector. The content was accessed by around 92% of Group’s people.

In 2022, managerial training continued to be provided to over 8,200 Managers and 300 Talents with a wide range of initiatives. Listening to Managers’ needs was the springboard for the provision of personalised training on managerial needs in a new context: over 90 Managers were involved in Shadow Coaching Meetings, aimed at improving performance in the management of remote meetings, over 240 Managers were involved in Distance Tutoring and around 200 Managers in Coaching courses, two tools which, through the Management School App, increasingly integrate opportunities for interaction with the digital dimension. Every Friday, Managers are invited to Digital Talks (over 3,500 Managers in 2022), interviews with experts on managerial issues and scenario topics with insights into the banking reality. As part of the digital meetings, 5 editions of Compliance Talks were also held on transversal training topics for Top Management. Several personalised journeys were created by Structure, individual Manager’s profile and specific development needs. These include, for example, the Female Leadership Acceleration, a programme designed to enhance female talent and guide around 180 managers along their managerial growth process.

The Management School App, enriched with around 150 new learning objects, for a total provision of 1,000 contents also dubbed in English, achieved an 80% adoption rate and 99% satisfaction rate. Content planning in digital format was focused on the managerial conditions of the new working context and on strategic issues for the Bank included in the new 2022-2025 Business Plan: sustainability, Diversity & Inclusion issues, technological evolution in the workplace and the transformation of job roles and business models.
