Moms@work

The awareness that mothers are a resource twice, to thier family and their company.


SOCIAL COMMITMENT

Moms@work

In Italy, maternity continues to be one of most critical factors for women who work. The rate of abandonment of professional life after the birth of a child is, in fact, among the highest in Europe (27.1%) - nearly one woman in three – with a consequent loss, also economic, for the Country system.

To meet mothers’ specific work needs, Gi Group has decided to support the pilot project Moms@work, which
has a double goal.
On one hand, putting together a database of qualified and motivated women who left the labor market after maternity - or who seek a more flexible professional assignment - and are now willing to return with great determination but also much flexibility in contractual and compensation terms.
On the other, finding a panel of companies to understand whether and how to handle the topic of maternity and the reconciliation between family and professional responsibilities. This is because the project is co-financed by the Lombardy Region, which wishes to understand

“in person” from the firm the critical areas, the specific problems and the costs linked to the presence or hiring
of a mother. Then an active policy is developed for maternal employment, implementing an ad hoc form of financing
with the companies themselves.

Moms@work could thus become a preferred partner
of reference for the companies in this field offering legal consulting (notification and compilation of bids and awards, new draft laws and European directives on the topic, etc.)
but also organizational (how to introduce flexibility in business, obtaining cost efficiency and development of resources) and helping to create a family friendly community increasing in size and influence in a constructive relationship with the institutions.
