Figures and ratios - Banca Popolare di Milano

SODALITAS DAY
On 26 April, a session on “The companies supporting the
value of people and work“ was held in the Sala delle Colonne
of Banca Popolare di Milano as part of the celebrations of
Fondazione Sodalitas' 15th anniversary. BPM also brought its
experience and demonstrated its commitment to support its
staff presenting the following initiatives to a vast audience: The
POESIA Project, the Code of good conduct for the prevention
of discrimination, the Charter of Equal Opportunities and
Equality at Work, “The Garden of Bez“ (company nursery)
and flexitime granted to employees to help reconcile work
and family life.
Enhancement of parenting
In September 2010 a new section of the “The Garden of Bez“ was opened to admit more children and allow parents to organise their
work better. This expansion took place thanks to the contribution of the Lombardy Region. The nursery, which can now admit up to
72 children, currently has 41 children of employees and 22 external children (7 under an arrangement with the Municipality). Surveys
again reflected the high degree of satisfaction with the service provided, the pedagogical quality and the care and attention given to
the children's nutrition.
In the Christmas holiday season, the nursery hosted around ten children enrolled in previous years and now attending the kindergarten.
Lastly, “The time of growth“ meetings, a series of initiatives to help parents grow together with their children, were successfully extended
to all of the Group's staff.
The nursery is getting ready for environmental certification, in line with BPM's attention to the environment.
It is worth noting that Banca di Legnano has continued to convert full-time contracts to part-time contracts for female staff returning after
maternity leave; in addition to their letter of appointment, new mothers are also given a plan for remote professional development,
encouraging independent and personalised learning.
