Today marks an important and proud day in the history of our company. Since our founding in 1998, thanks to the invaluable contribution of our passionate employees worldwide, our organisation has grown to become a leading force in the human resources industry. Never before has the care for the individual been so crucial for organisational success. And with the creation of Gi Group Holding, our mission is increasingly clear: to contribute to the evolution of the sustainable labour market and to emphasize the personal and social value of work.
Among the priorities of the company’s people-first strategy is the promotion of Sustainable Work: a purposeful thread that is woven throughout the entire Holding’s activities. Through Sustainable Work, Gi Group Holding aims to elevate industry standards through activities that promote a shared, multi-stakeholder responsibility in helping achieve living and working conditions that support people throughout an extended working life. In fact, Sustainable Work refers to:
- People: Helping grasp the meaning and value of work, taking care of psycho-physical well-being, investing in the development of hard and soft skills, and building professional and leadership relationships.
- Companies: Improving resiliency, prioritising innovation and value creation, and investing in human capital. Additionally, promoting diversity and inclusion, reducing waste and paying attention to key environmental issues.
- Institutions: Developing and supporting active labour policies, fighting undeclared work and tax evasion, promoting sustainable flexibility, reducing skills mismatch and promoting training to enhance people’s employability.
The launch of Gi Group Holding is enhanced with a digital ecosystem that includes new global website (www.gigroupholding.com) and dedicated LinkedIn page where news, insights and other engaging content will be made available for our global community.
