Once again in 2015, SEA devoted significant effort and resources to the development of corporate welfare. As is good practice, selection of activities to be undertaken started from the analysing of levels of participation and
final cost of the initiatives carried out in the previous year, also through a detailed comparison with data provided by NoiSea Association.
With regard to family services, we collaborated with NoiSea Association in planning and successfully implementing the distribution of gift certificates for children’s products and planning summer camps and centres during the school summer break.
Beside the traditional initiatives included in the annual plan (passes for public transport commuters, psychological and family support, etc.), particular attention was given to planning new initiatives in the field of education and scholastic and vocational guidance for employees’ children. In addition to awarding scholarships to deserving young people from middle school to university graduation, secondary school children were offered:

  • a study and work orientation project called “Push to Open”, organized with other major companies through the Jointly shared welfare platform;
  • 2 scholarships for study abroad by Intercultura Foundation awarded to the most deserving students for a school year in a European country or a one-month summer holiday in China;
  • vocational guidance workshop classes in collaboration with HRCommunity dedicated to near-graduates and recent graduates.

Parental leave management

SEA Welfare guarantees the right for all mothers to take advantage of a reduced working time of five hours a day until their child reaches five years of age.
Such aspect and a working system based on shifts affect the figures related to optional leave of absence, as outlined below.

(1) Data refers to SEA.
(2) Optional leave may be requested for each child during their first 8 years of life (until the day of their 8th birthday). Employees with a child at or under the age of 8 in the year in question are therefore considered eligible.
(3) This figure reflects all eligible persons who used at least one day of optional leave during the year in question.

Parental leave absence tables show that:

  • almost all users return to work after the birth of a child;
  • fathers extensively use the option and increasingly assist mothers in taking care of children;
  • only in a small percentage of cases the absence is not followed by a return to work, but rather by an absence for other reasons.

(1) Data relating to employees eligible for and beneficiaries of the optional leave only relate to SEA.
(2) To identify absences/leaves still under way, we take into consideration the two weeks following December 31 of the year in question.
(3) Employees “absent post-leave for other reasons” are those who are still absent following the period of parental leave for various reasons (e.g. child’s illness, holidays, etc.).
(4) The retention rate indicates the percentage of employees remaining in the company at the end of a parental leave period. This figure is calculated taking into account employees who benefited from at least one day of parental leave and who have returned to work and are still employed at the end of the year in question and the following year.

This includes only employees with labour contracts. Absences included in calculation are the unscheduled ones (e.g., illness, accident), while the scheduled ones (such as holidays, maternity) are excluded.
