Mission
The general architecture of the development system is structured in three main macro processes:
- scouting: aimed at detecting potential and intercepting the best resources;
- management planning: to identify development priorities with a view to succession and “management risk” containment;
- development: aimed at sustaining individual growth of resources with potential and accelerating their development.
POSTE ITALIANE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
Scouting processes allow the best talents to be intercepted and:
Within these processes, Poste Italiane uses various types of Assessment:
- development levers to be directed and applied to individuals, development levers meaning a set of instruments, methodologies, approaches and supports that improve the managerial and professional efficacy of each person;
- the talent resource base to be mapped and its development planned in relation to the different level of readiness/availability for target positions.
SCOUTING PROCESSES BY INTERESTED TARGET
Within these processes, Poste Italiane uses various types of Assessment:
| Process | Description | Numbers of 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| POP |
Assessment of Professional Orientation (POP), dedicated to the youngest corporate population and aimed at identifying best performers in whom to invest primarily in terms of development |
|
| MLAB |
Assessment of Managerial Potential (MLAB) for senior professionals aimed at identifying persons to develop for middle management roles |
|
| LEADERHIP ASSESSMENT |
Assessment, dedicated to expert managers and aimed at identifying possible successors, or leaders, for the Group’s key positions. |
|
| SKILL-UP | Assessment aimed at mapping and/or certifying technical-specialist skills in the Company and the degree of role coverage. Such assessment involves the Company in a transversal manner, addressing specific professional families |
|
This is a process aimed at identifying development priorities with a view to succession in order to reduce “managerial risk”. Poste Italiane periodically reviews the process through meetings between the Human Resources Department and Organisation and the department heads.
