Employees in Italy
The working conditions that apply in Italy are based on the national collective employment agreement for the telecoms sector (CCNL). This agreement sets out the provisions governing working conditions for employees, such as weekly working hours, annual leave entitlement, and maternity and paternity leave. The collective employment agreement also contains provisions governing the relationship between Fastweb and trade unions. Fastweb maintains dialogue with trade unions and employee representatives and involves them in major operational changes at an early stage.

The terms and conditions of employment enable employees to strike a healthy balance between their work demands and personal life. In 2020, Fastweb introduced an agreement on a new working concept (Smart Working). This agreement offers all employees of the company, including customer advisors, full flexibility and autonomy when it comes to choosing a working model. It gives Fastweb employees the option of using the smart working model on all working days or deciding on a day-to-day basis, in consultation with their manager, whether they want to work in the office or from home.
Fastweb offers competitive salaries to attract highly qualified specialists and managerial staff and ensure they remain with the company. Its salary system comprises a basic salary, a collective variable profit-sharing component for non-managerial staff and a variable performance component for managerial staff that is contingent on meeting individual and company goals. The basic salary is determined based on function, individual performance and the situation on the job market. The variable profit-sharing bonus is based on the model agreed with the unions. Fastweb complies with the legal minimum salary.
Fastweb is always interested in attracting new talent. With this goal in mind, the company offers young people the opportunity to complete internships at the company throughout the year and takes part in a programme to introduce school pupils to the working world through internships. Fastweb also participates in career conferences and recruitment events organised by universities and educational institutions in order to meet young candidates.
Fastweb strives to create a safe workplace where employees are proud to express their individuality and value diversity within the organisation. As a result, it views individual differences between employees as something that enriches the company. For Fastweb, inclusion is not only an ethical concern but should also serve as a driving force for the performance of the company as a whole. Further information on diversity can be found in the report on non-financial matters.
