Mollo Noleggio in the name of welfare
€715,000 TO SUPPORT ITS EMPLOYEES WITH NEW INITIATIVES
Even in this particular historical moment, the Italian company based in Alba (CN) supports its staff, its most precious resource, adding new initiatives to what is already provided in the welfare package, introduced over five years ago.
Welfare policies within company remuneration systems have an increasingly significant weight: in a particular economic context such as the one we are experiencing, as well as helping to increase employee satisfaction and engagement, also provide concrete support to people, as demonstrated by the new initiatives launched by Mollo Noleggio, the company based in Alba (CN), Italy, leader in the rental of machinery and equipment for construction, industry, agriculture, logistics and events.
“Corporate welfare is a significant opportunity to offer answers to the needs of workers” – says Alberto Maltese, HR Manager of Mollo Noleggio – “The overview of the welfare initiatives implemented by Mollo Noleggio last year is quite rich and includes, in particular, three extraordinary initiatives to support employees in this particular historical moment, characterized by a general increase in the cost of living, inflation and high energy costs”.
The first was the provision of fuel vouchers: Mollo Noleggio took advantage of an opportunity offered by current Italian legislation for private sector employers, providing €200 in fuel vouchers for its collaborators.
The second initiative, designed to face up the increase in energy costs in this period, was the disbursement of the bill bonus, through which Mollo Noleggio reimbursed employees for the expenses incurred in 2022 for water, electricity and gas bills, as required by recent legislative provisions. Both initiatives involved Mollo Group collaborators included in the company welfare program.
For these two bonuses, fuel and bills, Mollo Noleggio has adhered to the Government proposal which provided for precise rules and tax breaks, but there is also a third initiative that the Alba-based company has developed in autonomy, on ownership decision. This is the possibility for employees to obtain a loan from the company for an amount of up to 2,000 euros, to be requested by January 2023 and repayable starting from October 2023 in 24 installments, with the minimum interest rate. The total amount that Mollo Noleggio has made available for these three extraordinary initiatives is €715,000.
Welfare, for Mollo Noleggio, is not new. For more than five years, the company has launched numerous projects in this area to increase the well-being of Group collaborators and their families, and supporting their purchasing power in areas such as health, education, insurance, free time, and to promote an atmosphere of harmony in private life and at work, looking to the future with greater confidence.
“The welfare investment in Mollo Noleggio shows the company’s attention to people and the will to support them, both by making use of the regulatory possibilities offered by the law and with our initiatives”. – continues Alberto Maltese – “The proposals are varied and are created to cover the most urgent needs: for example, during the months of lockdown we expanded the welfare package by providing a bonus to all workers for a total of € 155,000, by subscribing to them favor medical insurance in case of contagion, and by sending a jar of Nutella to all the children of employees (for a total of 177 kg of hazelnut cream), a simple gesture which was greatly appreciated”.
The attention paid to the staff at Mollo Noleggio translates into concrete gestures every year, such as the provision of purchase vouchers (for fuel or other goods), the reimbursement of expenses in the medical, social, recreational fields, or those relating to education and instruction for their family members, the provision of scholarships to the children of workers who obtain significant academic results, the supply of car seats to all new mothers and new fathers, essential for the safety of children when traveling (43 seats have been delivered to date), the seniority awards, a further initiative that has now become a consolidated tradition.
“For all these reasons, in such a challenging period, we have decided to give even more incentives to our precious collaborators, because we strongly believe in the need to invest in them, also helping their families, so that this moment can be more serene, not only from an economic point of view, but also from an emotional and relational one” concludes Alberto Maltese of Mollo Noleggio.
