MILAN, Sep 13 (Class Editori) — Hera plans to hire 300 new people to meet the challenges of the energy transition. The multi-utility company is launching, in collaboration with recruitment firm ManpowerGroup, a widespread talent acquisition campaign throughout Italy, aimed in particular at hiring technical and operational profiles. An important project that will provide the company with additional key resources to meet the challenges of the energy transition.
A training course is planned
Hera knows this well: with more than 9,000 employees, 96.5% of whom are permanent, it continuously invests in skills development and resource training. Together with ManpowerGroup, the multi-utility company has devised a project that provides for the hiring of new resources after a training course that will enable them to consolidate their skills, thanks in part to the Group's Corporate University and the use of advanced facilities such as the training center in Ferrara.
The first placements are expected for as early as October
With this in mind, a massive information campaign is starting these days in order to start the training courses, with the first placements expected for as early as October. By 2023, about 300 resources will be involved, who will then be hired in the different areas of the multi-utility or by the supplier companies that support the Group in the management of its services. This project thus goes to reinforce the company's commitment to the development of the territories served in terms of recruitment: in 2021 alone, there were about 650 new placements, including 150 internships.
Chairman Tommasi di Vignano: new skills to tackle the challenges of energy transition
With this new project, as highlighted by Hera’s Executive Chairman Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano, “we confirm the importance we give not only to training people, but also how we, above all, aim to structure a customized path for each talent cut to their own peculiarities, thus investing in people’s employability: from the skills acquired to those to be enhanced. It is a commitment we have always pursued and that responds to a broader belief: that the enhancement of the people working in the Group is a way to ensure the growth and solidity of the company and, at the same times, generate positive spillovers for the territories served. Furthermore, we are aware of the importance of new skills to tackle the challenges of the energy transition and consequent labor market evolutions. We thus want to keep the innovation high in our selection processes and this project is an example of that”.
It is not without reason that the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) issues over 25 billion euros in investments to the energy transition alone. “One of the fundamental ingredients to win this challenge is the availability for companies to access solid and constantly updated skills,” Anna Gionfriddo, Country Manager of ManpowerGroup, said. She then added that energy “is the main challenge we face, both environmentally and economically. The continuing education is an essential aspect of the present and future work, both for companies and for people”.
Hera’s stock bounces back on Piazza Affari
As a reminder, in the first half of this year, Hera’s operating investments amounted to 287.1 million euros, a sharp increase (+16.3%) from the 246.9 million euros in the same period of last year. The company also boasts a solid energy customer base of around 3.5 million individuals. On Piazza Affari, Hera’s stocks, down 10.4% in the past three months, bounced back of 1.29% to 2.587 euros.
